The students, unhappy with the tuition fees, ended the protest march, which started from the Rectorate of the University of Belgrade, in front of the Serbian Government building. Students are seeking better educational conditions and a 30 percent reduction in tuition fees.

The protest is a reaction to a recent meeting with Chancellor Ivanka Popovic, who transferred responsibility for negotiations on tuition fees to individual faculty administrations.

Nikola Arsenić from the “Go-change” movement told H1 that a group of students had gathered who “did not want to be expelled from Serbia”.

“What we see now is something that shows that young people are leaving Serbia, this is not the place for you. We are in front of the government to see if the rector finds out that there are students in Serbia,” he said.

Arsenic says they are asking for a reaction from the Serbian government.

“If we have the transfer of the ball, not only to individual faculties, but also to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance, let the Prime Minister come and transfer the ball to whoever she wants, but show that students and education are more urgent than stadiums. ” he says.

He adds that “we are experiencing the greatest crisis,” and that students are “at the bottom of the help list.”

According to Arsenić, the next step is the radicalization of the protest, but also the initiation of trials for violating the study contract and the Higher Education Law.

“The deadline is Tuesday, if the demands are not met, the radicalization will continue,” Arsenić said.
