Bypassing all academic procedures, N1\u2019s sources claim, the faculty whose establishment is being pushed by the state has been declared the 15th member of the institution \u2014 by the force of political power. The Rectorate has so far declined to comment to N1. The Ministry of Education, the administration of the Faculty of Philosophy, and the new Faculty of Serbian Studies have done the same.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a session of the Senate of the University of Ni\u0161 exactly one week ago, there were not enough votes to admit the <a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/tag\/fakultet\/\">Faculty<\/a> of Serbian Studies into the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite this, the <a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/tag\/ministarstvo\/\">Ministry<\/a> of Education is not giving up. Several days later, the newspaper \u201cPolitika\u201d published its findings: \u201cFaculty of Serbian Studies becomes the 15th member of the University of Ni\u0161.\u201d Although the relevant ministry did not issue a statement, journalist Ljubica Joci\u0107 had no doubt whatsoever that the information was accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause \u2018Politika\u2019 was the first to report when the Government decided to establish the Faculty of Serbian Studies by splitting up the Faculty of Philosophy, and also because it was the first to report when the Ministry of Education granted it an operating license. All of this indicates that everything \u2018Politika\u2019 says is a message from the state leadership through its media outlet,\u201d journalist Ljubica Joci\u0107 said, N1 reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE: <\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"YbJaQVpB2l\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/dan-odluke-u-hagu-taciju-veseljiju-seljimiju-i-krasniciju-danas-se-izrice-prvostepena-presuda\/\">DAN ODLUKE U HAGU: Ta\u010diju, Veseljiju, Seljimiju i Krasni\u0107iju danas se izri\u010de prvostepena presuda!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201eDAN ODLUKE U HAGU: Ta\u010diju, Veseljiju, Seljimiju i Krasni\u0107iju danas se izri\u010de prvostepena presuda!\u201c \u2014 Serbiantimes.info\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/dan-odluke-u-hagu-taciju-veseljiju-seljimiju-i-krasniciju-danas-se-izrice-prvostepena-presuda\/embed\/#?secret=Hy5yFyGDV7#?secret=YbJaQVpB2l\" data-secret=\"YbJaQVpB2l\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The text, however, does not mention the temporary measure issued by the Administrative Court, because of which the \u201cSerbian Studies\u201d program did not enroll students this year. The measure was issued after the Faculty of Philosophy initiated proceedings, and it means that everything remains as it was until the proceedings are concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a direct violation of the law. It is like someone, without your knowledge or consent, registering several people at the address of your apartment, who would then acquire certain rights from that,\u201d says Milan Videnovi\u0107 of the Faculty of Philosophy in Ni\u0161.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He says they have confirmation that the letter they learned about from the media has reached the University, but they still do not know how it will affect the work of the Faculty of Philosophy. They do know that they have not received their salaries for two months because the Ministry of Education has not approved the funds \u2014 as long as they do not amend the faculty\u2019s statute and give up three departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is no <a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/tag\/ustav\/\">Constitution<\/a>, there are no laws. We are the Constitution and the laws. That is what they are telling us and the citizens; they are becoming the rules and they are imposing restrictions on others,\u201d Videnovi\u0107 says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authorities announced that they would open a new faculty by splitting up the Faculty of Philosophy immediately after the student blockades, which were supported by the majority of employees, ended. The authorities simply informed them \u2014 the operating license for three departments and eight study programs was being revoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together with professors and students from Serbian Studies, History, and the Russian Language program, they are moving to the new faculty, where identity studies will be developed. However, because of the court\u2019s temporary measure, these studies are still being \u201cdeveloped\u201d at the Faculty of Philosophy.<\/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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/we-wont-let-them-treat-us-like-tourists-drivers-from-bih-serbia-montenegro-and-macedonia-to-protest-tomorrow-threaten-border-blockades-if-brussels-does-not-back-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cWE WON\u2019T LET THEM TREAT US LIKE TOURISTS\u201d: Drivers from BiH, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia to protest tomorrow, threaten border blockades if Brussels does not back down!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/with-the-money-of-citizens-who-have-no-water-cacak-spent-two-million-on-a-breskvica-concert-but-only-around-60-people-attended\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WITH THE MONEY OF CITIZENS WHO HAVE NO WATER: \u010ca\u010dak spent two million on a Breskvica concert, but only around 60 people attended!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/new-blow-to-education-government-preparing-a-law-that-will-punish-everyone-teachers-could-lose-their-licenses-while-students-could-be-transferred-out-of-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NEW BLOW TO EDUCATION: Government preparing a law that will punish everyone \u2013 teachers could lose their licenses, while students could be transferred out of school!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-medal-serbia-had-been-waiting-seven-years-for-marko-finishes-second-at-the-world-rowing-championships-silver-shining-like-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THE MEDAL SERBIA HAD BEEN WAITING SEVEN YEARS FOR: Marko finishes second at the World Rowing Championships, silver shining like gold!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/human-and-sporting-greatness-dokovic-sends-powerful-words-to-one-of-his-greatest-rivals-on-his-induction-into-the-hall-of-fame-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HUMAN AND SPORTING GREATNESS: \u0110okovi\u0107 sends powerful words to one of his greatest rivals on his induction into the Hall of Fame!
