It was necessary to clearly determine when this academic year would end, so that we could enroll a new generation of university students, Education Minister Dejan Vuk Stankovic said on June 3.
“Some faculties have not started organizing lectures to make up for classes that were not held (due to blockades), they are even turning their faculties into ideological bastions. I shall not name them for to avoid conflicts. They want to use the universities as platforms for political action and also for wider mobilization and creating chaos in Belgrade,” Stankovic told TV Pink.
He said that in difficult conditions, his Ministry “has rescued what could be rescued” in relation to the primary and secondary education system, adding that they had been “fighting like lions” to restore the work of higher education institutions.
“I cannot say that I am completely sure that we will succeed everywhere. But those faculties which fail to board that lifeboat, which are still waiting, those faculties will slowly and surely erase themselves from the academic map,” the minister said.
