Over 50 state faculties in the largest university cities in Serbia are under blockade. High school students also started to show solidarity with them. Which high schools have suspended classes

Talas student protests it also extended to secondary schools. A large part of Belgrade's high schools and vocational schools is in the blockade. However, high school students in other cities also stand up.

In the Philological High School, classes were interrupted at the beginning of the afternoon shift on Friday, and the First, Ninth, Tenth, Third, Zemun, Mathematical High Schools, Lazarevac and Obrenovac High Schools are blocked... In the Eighth High School, all students left classes after the third hour.

Vocational schools also stood up, so the students of the Secondary Technical School in Belgrade and the School of Economics in Zrenjanin, as well as the Electrical Engineering School "Nikola Tesla" in Belgrade, joined their peers.

Classes have also been suspended in high schools outside of Belgrade, such as Zrenjanin and Požarevac high schools, Ivanjica high schools, Karlovac high schools in Sremski Karlovci and Jovina high schools in Novi Sad.

The students of the Gymnasium in Leskovac also supported the students.

The kneeling of the director of Jovina Gymnasium

Students of Novi Sad Gymnasium "Jovan Jovanović Zmaj" they entered the blockade because they demand, among other things, that the director of this school, Radivoje P. Stojković, publicly apologize to the students and professors and withdraw his public apology to Prime Minister Miloš Vučević.

He apologized to the prime minister because, as claimed by regime tabloids, the teacher forced her son Miloš Vučević to participate in the protest in front of the school.

It is not known how this could have happened, given that the aforementioned professor does not even teach the prime minister's son.

The students, it seems, were very serious in their activities, since, as can be seen in the video, they prevented the principal from entering the school. He stayed in front of the front door, where he knelt and prayed. He spent seven hours in that position.

When the TV Nova journalist stated that the students' first request was to withdraw the statement in which, on behalf of the school, they apologized to the Prime Minister of Serbia, Miloš Vučević, and that they were asking for a personal public apology, the director replied: "I have not seen that request, as I have not yet they didn't give".

And when asked if he is ready to apologize to the students, he answers: "I am only ready for a peaceful solution."

It is remembered that the director told certain students, who were lighting candles and leaving flowers for the victims at the railway station, that "their ritual of giving mail to the victims is pagan". After that came the latest blockade of the school itself and the demands of the students.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
