The protest <\/a>gathering “Teachers and professors are with the students” ended on the Plateau in front of the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, with a call for a strike not only in education but also more broadly. Du\u0161an Kokot, president of the Independent Union of Education Workers of Serbia, under whose organization the protest was held, declared a general strike in education, promising that this union would provide legal and all other assistance to every education worker.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protest ended shortly before 12 noon, and the educators paid tribute to the victims of the tragic collapse of the canopy in Novi Sad, as well as the victims of today’s fire in a nursing home in Batajnica, with 16 minutes of silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gathering began at 11:30 am with the song “\u017diveti slobodno” by \u0110or\u0111e Bala\u0161evi\u0107. The anthem of academic citizens was also intoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vesna Tomi\u0107, a teacher from Valjevo, said they had gathered to support the students in their fight against corruption and for the rule of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dear colleagues, former and current students, children of Dositej Obradovi\u0107, he is watching us from Studentski park and says ‘Worthless are people who do not respect the teacher’s job’,” said Professor Jovo Baki\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baki\u0107 adds that this regime is not a political opponent, but a den of organized crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nata\u0161a Medenica, a teacher from Ni\u0161, addressed those who are in the classrooms today and had a question for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“How can you tell the students good morning while students are being attacked with knives, beaten in the halls of the faculties, and called mercenaries and agents of foreign forces?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She asked the teachers who remained in the classrooms what they would say to the students when they ask them about the students’ demands and whether they will tell them that a slightly higher salary is greater than freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
