There is a lot of support at many faculties, and professors and associates often show it openly. Such is the case at the Faculty of Law in Belgrade.

Speaking about her students who are in the blockade, Jovanović pointed out that she is "extremely proud" that they show a high degree of solidarity and empathy.
Jovanović stated for N1 that they had a statement from the department and that "almost all of them supported" the students' demands.
"The majority of the team stood behind the students of the Faculty of Philosophy. "It certainly means a lot to them and almost all employees at the faculty have signed their support for the students," she said.
Speaking about the announcement of the University of Nis in which support for the students' demands is provided, Jovanović says that he expects that this support will encourage other students as well.
"That announcement is an honest and humanly significant support. I see that as part of the thinking of the academic community and I am really proud that my university supported the students," she said.

The four independent members of REM are an example of perseverance and civic responsibility. Rodoljub Šabić even, upon leaving the premises of REM, after the sentencing of the Informer, experienced that the Essenes insulted him, hit him with their hands and feet. But that too will soon be over
Vučić pardoned the batterers and Dijana Hrkalović. The election winners should abolish the sultan's power that allows one man to run afoul of the entire judicial system
