At the meeting of Active directors of primary and secondary schools in Indjija, which was held on Monday, the request of the Indjija was rejected students in the blockade for the transfer of school halls for the accommodation of students who walk to Novi Sad, and on October 30 they will spend the night in Indjija.
At the meeting, it was expressly emphasized that the accommodation must not be given to students for use, writes the IN Media portal.
"There is no justification from the president, only an express refusal and practically a ban to meet the students. Some of the colleagues are considering resigning from the positions of school principals because of this attitude towards the students, but also to them because the public needs to be presented that the principals decided not to allow accommodation, and the truth is that it is not the will of the principal," an unnamed source who attended the meeting told IN Media.
The source states that it was stated at the meeting that "information is leaking" to to the media which the local government considers bad moves by educators.
Originally, the Asset Directors' meeting was scheduled for Friday, and then postponed to Monday at 9 a.m.
There was only one item on the agenda - the request of the blockaded Indjija students for the transfer of school halls for the accommodation of students who will spend the night in Indjija on October 30.
The mayor says that he does not decide
On October 9, the students sent the first request to the president of the municipality of Inđija, Marko Gašić, for the transfer of space, to which they did not receive a response.
"I don't decide, I think they were looking for the hall and some schools. As far as I know, the hall is occupied, and they have to ask the principals about the schools," Gašić told IN Media earlier.
After that statement, the students in the blockade submitted several more written requests in two primary schools - "Petar Kočić" and "Dušan Jerković", as well as in three secondary schools - "Mihajlo Pupin", Gymnasium and "Dr Đorđe Natošević".
On Thursday, October 23, the students tried to personally deliver the query to the mayor, whom they met in the hall of the building, but he "forwarded" them to his office.
In that letter, the arrival of a delegation of students in the blockade from Belgrade for Friday, October 24th.
President Gašić confirmed to IN Media that he met with the students, that they had announced their plans for Friday, but that he plans to invite them to a meeting next week.
Blockade students from Inđija and Belgrade tried to hold a meeting with Gašić on Friday, according to the announcement, but the meeting did not take place.
"Order from the top"
According to IN Media's information from sources close to the local self-government Stara pazova, the "order from the top" is to reject the demands of the students in the blockade in Stara Pazova and Indjija.
Those demands, as stated, "deeply shook" the local authorities of both municipalities, because the positions of the local authorities and the orders "from the top" differ.
The entire burden of the decision was transferred to the Active director of schools.
The students in the blockade said that, if they are not granted accommodation again, they will spend the night in front of the Indjija Municipality building.
Security guards and citizens of Indjija will take care of the safety of students during overnight stays, and they have announced their support veterans and bikers.
The priest offered to stay the night.
The priest of the Church of Saint Raphael of Banat in the village of Plandište offered a hall to students who are going from Vojvodina to Novi Sad to spend the night in it.
