After the meeting rector universities in Serbia and Prime Minister of the country, Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture faculty Vladan Bogdanović pointed out that it is a good thing if at least some kind of agreement has been reached.
Bogdanović also points out that this is one of the good steps in the correct resolution of a situation that has been going on for months.
However, in a statement to FoNet, the dean pointed out that he cannot be satisfied, because something was agreed upon that should not be agreed upon at all, namely admissions to faculties.
"The government has resorted to something unprecedented in the academic history of Serbia, which is a deliberate delay in approving enrollment quotas, and that stain will forever remain on it and its members," Bogdanović points out.
In addition to the meeting, Bogdanović also touched on the controversial decree which practically reduced the salaries of professors and is still in force, saying that the realization of that demand of the academic community is still awaited.
Rector Đokić says there will be more talks
Rector of the University of Belgrade, Vladan Đokić, said today that at a meeting in the Government of Serbia, it was agreed that quotas for enrolling new students in the budget will be the same as last year, which will be adopted at the government session by the end of the week.
After that, the faculties will be able to announce competitions for enrollment in the next academic year.
"I invite potential candidates to follow the websites of the faculties starting next week, to see when and where the reflective entrance exams will be held," said Đukić
Đokić also reminded that the working group for changing the Law on Higher Education was abandoned, while the request for budget quotas will be adopted by the end of the week.
"Discussions about the material expenses of the faculty remain to be continued, because many of them have received warnings for Infostan, electricity, that has not been resolved and a plan is being made to pay those expenses," said Đokić.
According to him, the issue of the Regulation of the Government of Serbia on the norms and standards of working conditions of universities and faculties has not been resolved either.
"We have more talks left and we will talk in the coming weeks," Djokic said.
