While the student’s blockade, a new government is formed, and Dejan Vuk Stanković, professor at the University of Belgrade and one of the few who did not stop with their students, was formed at the scene of the Minister of Education. His setting at the minister’s place causes certain doubts – is it a person who can contribute to fulfilling student requests or will contribute to further repression over members of the academic community?
Stankovic spoke among the first to spoke against student blockades, guests on probation televisions. Also, he was the only professor at the Faculty of Teacher Education, who pleaded against the blockade that the students launched.
Despite the fact that student blockades will still be appointed Minister of Education since tomorrow, which can lead to even greater repression, as to interrupt students, as a goal of Danas consideration.
« Repressive-Huška Koretor recommended for the Ministerial Army »
Professor of the Faculty of Law and a member of the Miodrag Jovanović for our sheet that Dejan Vuk Stanković comes to the Minister’s office immediately after the statement: « I would not be different from me … I would not become a rector’s political person … He would be removed. »
« It would be said that this repressive-huška koretor was recommended for the ministerial armchair. In which we have witnessed the leader that the leader denied the claims, claiming that he could not vote about it, » said Jovanovic. «
He estimates that Stankovic was important that there was no picture of him as an opponent of students in public.
« These two diametrically opposite images talk about the person’s new candidate for the minister, nor will the actual decision-making power. It is important that the universities in Serbia will be managed in the cabaday manner, » Jovanovic points out.
It also adds that the way Stanković is only set by the proceedings of illegal regulation, adopted with the aim of financial punishing of rebellious professors and complete disembarkation of the scientific activity of the University.
« I’m sure the academic community will have a worthy answer if Stankovic is elected, and there are little chances that this does not happen, » Jovanovic concludes.
« If an even bigger resistance will try to follow »
Branimir Jovančićević, professor at the Faculty of Chemistry and Vice President of the Democratic Party, says that Stankovic’s appointment is not a surprise, but the expected move.
« This is a list of candidates, in the hope that Vučić will bring wide support. He will probably fail to set him such an extreme candidate for the Minister of Education, » Jovančićević believes.
He adds that Stanković is expected to implement repressive measures in schools and colleges, but he believes that students will not remain silly on these moves.
« If he tries, even greater resistance, he expected Vučić. Students, teachers today are much braver than before. Fear has disappeared. We are at higher levels than six months ago, » Jovančićević rates.
He adds that he should not be afraid of Stankovic and that his influence in the academic community today is significantly weaker than before.
« They are aware that this government will be formed at all. Students will come out with specific political proposals that will be further shortened to fall by autumn, the question is whether they will have the will of the set measures, » Jovančićević concludes.
« I don’t think from ‘the wolf’ will go into ‘lambs’ of the skin »
Professor of the Faculty of Agriculture in Novi Sad and President of the Reversion Movement Janko Veselinović, for today, says Stanković is known as a regime analyst and faithful supporter of the current regime.
« In that sense, he could be a ‘iron fist’ that would suffocate the student’s bunt. I would not seek help with police or other, legal and illegal, structure, to satisfy Aleksandra Vučić, » Rated Veselinovic.
He adds that he does not believe in a change in Stankovic’s behavior: « I don’t think it’s going from ‘the wolf’ to go to the skin ».
« As a professor of the University, I’m on the opposite side – he is against students and I’m supporting them for a healthy society, and the regime that he belongs to the core is sick. In Chetnik, » Veselinovic concludes.
