Milan Lazarevic, president of the Movement for the People and the State in Nis, backed by the SNS and Aleksandar Vucic, is mentioned as one of the initiators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new institution, the N1 reporter points out, until recently had neither adequate premises nor clear signage, but only a modest plaque. However, according to available information, since March 27, there has been an accreditation and a work permit issued by the competent national accreditation body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional concern was caused by information that since yesterday, students have been unable to register for exams in those three departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest problem for the students at the moment is uncertainty \u2013 they do not know whether they will receive diplomas from the Faculty of Philosophy or from the newly formed Faculty of Serbian Studies, considering that, as they state, the Faculty of Philosophy has lost its work permit for those three departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/fighting-spectacle-finally-in-front-of-a-home-crowd-dana-white-confirmed-the-organization-of-a-ufc-event-in-serbia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">FIGHTING SPECTACLE FINALLY IN FRONT OF A HOME CROWD: Dana White confirmed the organization of a UFC event in Serbia!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/thank-you-for-everything-you-gave-to-serbian-sport-novak-djokovic-said-goodbye-to-the-legendary-dusko-vujosevic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cTHANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU GAVE TO SERBIAN SPORT\u201d: Novak Djokovic said goodbye to the legendary Dusko Vujosevic!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/united-nations-on-the-catastrophe-in-lebanon-over-a-million-people-displaced-since-the-start-of-the-conflict-with-israel-one-fifth-of-the-population\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">UNITED NATIONS ON THE CATASTROPHE IN LEBANON: Over a million people displaced since the start of the conflict with Israel, one-fifth of the population!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/anniversary-of-the-serbian-armys-lesson-in-humanity-and-bravery-twenty-seven-years-ago-the-battle-of-kosare-began-a-struggle-of-david-and-goliath\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">ANNIVERSARY OF THE SERBIAN ARMY\u2019S LESSON IN HUMANITY AND BRAVERY: Twenty-seven years ago, the Battle of Kosare began, a struggle of David and Goliath!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/remembrance-of-the-last-supper-of-jesus-and-the-apostles-today-we-observe-holy-thursday-these-are-the-customs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">REMEMBRANCE OF THE LAST SUPPER OF JESUS AND THE APOSTLES: Today We Observe Holy Thursday, These Are the Customs!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Source<\/strong><\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/nova.rs\/vesti\/drustvo\/protest-u-nisu-zbog-ukidanja-tri-departmana-filozofskog-studenti-ne-znaju-sa-kog-fakulteta-ce-dobiti-diplome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Nova.rs<\/a>; <strong>Photo<\/strong>: ATA Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nis students are protesting in front of the Faculty of Philosophy building because three departments from this faculty have officially become part of the Faculty of Serbian Studies.
