Anatomy professor Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade Lazar Stijak tried to break through the blockade of that faculty at the side entrance, but he did not and students they didn't allow it.
He asked a student several times what plenum is, what that word means, which language it comes from, and where they got the permission to block the faculty, which is why the student whom the professor spoke to, and according to N1 - "shaken, got sick and fell to the ground".
Stijak told N1 that he had not heard about the blockade of the faculty and that he went alone to the building where he works.
Addressing the students in the blockade, he pointed out that "it is forbidden to enter the university in shorts above the knee".
He asked the journalist N1 to answer whether she was informed that a session of the Academic Council of the Faculty of Medicine was held on Wednesday, to which she answered in the affirmative and noted that not all faculty professors supported the Council's decision and that some of them are still on strike.
"When the students and professors voted for the blockade, some of the professors did not support it. Then why didn't you respect those professors a little, as you now support the professors who supported the blockade," asked Stijak.
He emphasized that he did not know that the faculty was under blockade, that he wanted to "enter" the faculty "normally", that he saw the sign at the main entrance to the faculty "blockade", and the sign "entrance to the side door" and that he headed towards that entrance.
When the journalist N1 complained that the entrance says that entry is allowed "only with an index", Stijak stated that he also "has an index" and that he too was a student.
"The solution is that political issues are resolved elsewhere and classes take place," concluded Stijak.
Professor Stijak's political involvement

"Citizens of Serbia, the healthcare system of our republic requires serious changes that will apply to all types of healthcare as well as the organization of the healthcare system itself, starting from work with patients, through personnel policy, to health insurance. Reducing administrative obligations through the introduction of electronic instructions, solving the problem of operational waiting lists through the opening of new jobs for doctors, and preventing the departure of our best staff through adequate salaries, are just some of the measures that the Serbian Radical Party would take. Don't forget, only a satisfied doctor can put a smile back on the face of patients," she said. was Stijak's pre-election message.
