Aleksandar Vucic (BETAPHOTO/MILOS MISKOV)
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on June 2 that the country had recently faced a "well-organized coup attempt" in which "all state institutions" were involved.
"From elementary and high schools, through universities and attempts within the healthcare system, to all power plants on which life in Serbia depends. let alone the police. Terrifying information will come to light, making it clear who was 'pumping up' and who was making deals with whom," Vucic said during a conversation with representatives of students who want to return to classes.
The president said that the state had withstood it all, although, as he put it, "foreign money, political advice, and lessons" had to be used to organize such activities.
Vucic asked the representatives of students who opposed the blockade of faculties not to go on a hunger strike they had planned, promising that the state would make it possible for all the students who wanted to take exams to enter the faculties..
Vucic said that the state allocated RSD54.8 billion annually for higher education only for, as he put it, someone to block it, adding that "greater support" would be provided for private universities.
