MILOŠ VUČEVIĆ MISLED THE PUBLIC: SNS president claimed a party member was on the Students’ List, denial follows shortly afterward!

Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) President Miloš Vučevićrecently stated that an SNS member from Novi Sad named “Anđelija” was listed at number 130 on the Students’ List and had allegedly asked him for help returning to her job at the College of Preschool Education. There is no “Anđelija” among the candidates on the “Students’ List – Students Win,” but there is an Anđelka (Bulatović). She told IZLAZ.com that they do not concern themselves with statements made by SNS officials because those claims are not true.

“For one lady, at number 130, there is Anđelija, now let me not get the surname wrong, she is from Novi Sad, her husband works in the construction inspection department in Novi Sad. She has been a party member since 2012,” Vučević claimed.

“She personally asked me to help her return to the Higher School of Education, because she refused to make up classes, so the dean initiated proceedings against her and made a decision to terminate her employment. She personally asked me, through people close to me, to help her get her job back. Of course, neither can I do that nor did I interfere,” Vučević said.

However, a review of the student electoral list shows that Tatjana Grujić is in 130th place, while there is actually no candidate named Anđelija on the list.

In recent days, some tabloids have identified Anđelka Bulatović, a professor at the College of Preschool Education in Novi Sad, as an SNS member on the Students’ List. She is indeed on the student list, in the nearby 132nd position.

Asked whether the claims that she had been a member of the Serbian Progressive Party were true, she told IZLAZ.com: “We do not concern ourselves with what SNS officials say because the claims are not true.”

In a written response, Bulatović said that presenting the student list’s program and talking to citizens was more important to her than statements made by officials of the ruling party.

“We do not pay too much attention to what officials of the Serbian Progressive Party say about us. What matters much more to us is what we say, how we have shown ourselves so far and how we will show ourselves going forward. Above all, it is important to us that the main messages of our list are spread and that as many people as possible hear what we stand for and what we want to change.”

Speaking about pressure, she said that it exists, but that she “does not consider it comparable to the support the list is receiving.”

“As for the pressure, it exists and is very real, but it is incomparable when you consider the support we have and the number of people standing behind us. These are people who are ready to fight alongside us until the end, to talk to their fellow citizens, spread our messages and be part of this struggle. That support shows us precisely that we are not alone and that there are a large number of people who believe that Serbia can look different. That is why we will continue to work, talk to people across Serbia and persevere together until we achieve a free Serbia,” Bulatović said.

The media had previously reported that Professor Anđelka Bulatović faced dismissal at the end of January this year, which led students at the higher education institution to organize protests.

Namely, during last year’s October examination period, she did not receive all the necessary documentation from the school administration required for conducting examinations, which meant she was unable to examine students.

One of the students who was not examined at the time, Aleksandra Čavić, told Danas that school principal Svetlana Radović had “grossly exploited” them in order to arrange Professor Bulatović’s dismissal.

“During the October examination period, the three of us took the exam with Professor Bulatović. She could not examine us because she did not have all the documentation that the school administration was obliged to provide, namely our pre-examination points, which the administration and the subject professor were required to give her. Because of this, she could not examine us and give us a final grade. We contacted the principal and asked her to provide the professor with our pre-examination points. The principal did not provide the requested documentation, but instead used parts of our statements as the basis for dismissing Professor Bulatović, taking them grossly out of context,” Čavić said at the time.

As she explained, the principal did not reproduce their statements in full, but took the parts that suited her, saying that they “had not been examined” and that they “remained in an unfavorable position,” while the parts where they said that the “professor was ready to examine them but did not have the documentation,” and that they asked for the “documentation to be provided,” were omitted from the complaint against the professor.
