Uncertainty of project co-financing, self-censorship and pressures

As many as 85 percent of local media members of the Association of Local and Independent Media "Local Press" confirmed the existence of violations of the freedom and rights of the media, i.e. journalists, according to the latest Research on Pressures on Local Media (2022 - 2024), conducted by Local Press

The Orlović case: The dean's coercion by force

Slaviša Orlović was appointed dean of the Faculty of Political Sciences by force, contrary to the regulations. At the same time, colleagues don't want him, students don't want him, but Maja Gojković and this government want him, in principle. We infer this from the fact that under every critical tweet about him, SNS bots shine as if someone attacked Vučić personally

Slaviša Orlović: New dean, old "predator"?

Professor Slaviša Orlović became the dean of the Faculty of Political Sciences. Ever since his candidacy, that information fueled old accusations that he allegedly sexually abused female students. There are a number of testimonies about this, even more stories, and even Orlović's colleagues from the faculty are not ready to speak by name.

Targeting students: Lack of support from professors again 

Only some university professors came to the defense of students exposed to attacks for participating in the "Serbia against violence" protests. "No one is asking you to come out as a professor and support someone's political views," says Vojin Radovanović, a student of the FPN and journalist of the daily newspaper "Danas". But professors should step forward and say that in a democratic society it is not normal for anyone to suffer persecution for a word spoken in public

Bowing to pressure gives the more aggressive what they want

"The fact is that the state sometimes stood behind organizations like the National Patrol and many others. When they were guarding the mural of Ratko Mladic, even President Vučić said something like 'well, those are dangerous guys' and mentioned them by name. The bigger problem is some kind of logistical, unopened support, as well as the tolerance that the state showed for what Leviathan or the People's Patrols were doing. Now Zentropa stands out as the most aggressive and ideologically radical group"

Support group for professors with FPN: It is not academic to remain silent

A part of professors and associates at FPN expressed solidarity with targeted colleagues who were labeled as terrorists just because they were doing their academic work in cooperation with professors of the University of Pristina. They demand that the Ministry of Internal Affairs shed light on this case to the end and stop the practice of impunity for organizations whose actions can have unforeseeable consequences.

Extreme Drips and Spawners: Bounty Hunters

As soon as Vulin pressed the button, extreme right-wingers crawled out of the darkness. And when the BIA director fires him, they return like cockroaches from where they came. Then the Service calculates their costs - including those for the scandalous posters against FPN professors - and pays the associate's fees.

Dishonest at the Faculty of Political Sciences: Targeting of professors because of the "betrayal" of Kosovo

Posters with the photos and names of associate professor Marko Veković, assistant professor Jelena Lončar and assistant professor Stefan Surlić were plastered in front of the FPN, with the word "betrayal" above the coat of arms of the Kosovo Liberation Army in bold, large, red letters. The aforementioned "traitors" were supposed to discuss various problems with their Albanian colleagues from Kosovo as part of an academic exchange. FPN canceled the entire meeting without explanation

Canceled rally at FPN: Savo Manojlović was unwelcome

"Vremena" sources say that the head of the Belgrade office of the German Konrad Adenauer Foundation prevented Sava Manojlović from lecturing at the Faculty of Political Sciences. Then the whole meeting was cancelled. That foundation otherwise has close relations with Naprednjaci

Protests and students: Why they are not on the streets

Students used to be the most powerful lever of civil protest. In Serbia, street protests are being organized again, they are visible on social networks, everyone knows about them, but students and young people are not joining them in serious numbers. It seems that their social potential has been lost somewhere
