For months, students have been doing what the opposition should have done a long time ago: they are walking from place to place and talking to citizens. Now they went to the smallest villages
"Our students carried out an action with LED lights last night, these are the results." No more silence. Serbia, wake up and speak," ETF students say in a video message
By groundlessly reducing the "Jadar" enterprise to a mine, the fact is overlooked that the only reason it is being discussed may be the profit from the expected production in the field of electrical engineering. Depriving electrical technicians of the right to reason about it narrows the possibility of a conscientious and comprehensive check and increases the risk
On Tuesday, the management of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering resigned at a council meeting where they were supposed to make a statement about lithium mining. The former dean of this faculty, Branko Kovačević, said that the ETF is not a reference house for lithium
The professors of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade resigned due to pressure to speak positively about the "Jadar" project.
A high salary is one of the biggest motives of future freshmen when choosing a college.

From place to place
One of the smaller places that the students visited as a "walking medium" was the village of Jagošnica.
On social networks, they published their impressions of the warm welcome of the inhabitants of this village.
"They showed us their households, introduced us to the animals, served us unpeeled apples, took us to the church and the lookout point and had various conversations with us," the students reported on their Instagram profile.
They drew their attention to the neglected roads of this village, to the distance of shops and institutions to which the locals have to walk, and added that they send love and hope that someone will pay attention to this village.
The next location they visited was Obrenovac and its surrounding villages.
After that, they visited Barajevo, where they held talks with citizens in three different locations, in order to reach as many people as possible.

"The greatest success for us is when someone gives us a hand after the conversation, even if we remain in disagreement.

They also visited Azanja, from where they moved the action to Loznica and Gornje Nedeljice.

After that, the students expanded the action to cities across Serbia, in order to talk with the locals about "education, solidarity and the society we live in".
"The fact is that we have been living in 'media darkness' for many years and that we have been dehumanized and called derogatory names, as future academic citizens, which is unacceptable. This started as an initiative of ETF students in Belgrade, and the expansion spread further within our University," the students said in a post on Instagram.
The organizers of this action say that the target group is people who do not support them. They want to talk to the citizens of Serbia, regardless of their views, in order to make them aware of the current situation in Serbia.
"Everyone can talk to us and get relevant information first-hand, since we are dehumanized on a daily basis on national frequencies, so now we are a walking media that goes around Serbia, from smaller to bigger places," explained student Luka Tanasić for Beta.
Until now, students have mostly been approached by people who provide them with support, while the others generally do not know what the students' requirements are.
"As far as we are concerned, we can return to classes tomorrow, but only when the institutions do their work," said Tanasić, as reported by Beta.
