As a sign of protest against the decision of the Ministry of Education on the dismissal of Goran Cvijović, the employees of the school announced a complete suspension of work from January 9, and all responsible managers in the certified organizations of the Air Force Academy - 15 of them - will submit their irrevocable resignations on the same day, as a result of which the school will lose all certificates which it currently has
At its meeting on January 3, 2025, the Council of Parents of the Aviation Academy in Belgrade condemned the decision of the Ministry of Education to dismiss the director, Dr. Goran Cvijović, after an extraordinary inspection at that school. In the press release, the parents of the students of this school offer their full support to the director and teachers and believe that this is a "classic example of a political change of director", and that the Ministry's decision is "very sloppily written and, in most points, legally unfounded".
As a sign of protest against this decision of the competent Ministry, the employees of the school announced a complete suspension of work from January 9, and all responsible managers in the certified organizations of the Air Force Academy - 15 of them - will submit their irrevocable resignations on the same day, which will cause the school to lose all the certificates it currently has. This means that pupils and students of the Aviation Academy will not be able to obtain the necessary licenses and certificates at the end of their studies, which calls into question their right to education, professional orientation and future careers in the aviation industry.

In the press release of the Council of Parents, it is emphasized that it is not clear what were the criteria on the basis of which the Ministry of Education appointed the new acting director Miroslav Lepir, a member of the city administration of the municipality of Vršac, who, according to the statement, does not have a single day of experience in managing any educational institution nor in jobs related to the aviation industry, and it is not known whether it meets the criteria prescribed by the current Law on the Basics of the Education System.
Because of all this, the parents believe that the real reasons for the dismissal of director Goran Cvijović are "hidden in the pressures from the political structures of the city of Vršac", and that as political revenge for the fact that director Cvijović in October 2024 dismissed Miloš Đokić, the responsible manager of the Pilot Training Center in Vršac, due to a series of omissions that seriously threatened the safety of training and the lives of students of the Aviation Academy. That is why the director appointed an instructor pilot, captain Davor Lukić, who has extensive experience in managing pilot training and in commercial traffic in major international companies and Air Serbia, in Đokić's place.
Believing that there is no compromise regarding the safety of children and their future, the Council of Parents of the Aviation Academy supports all the demands of the employees, asks the Minister of Education Slavica Đukić Dejanović to cancel the decision by which Goran Cvijović was dismissed from the position of director, and warns that the pupils and students of this school will not be in opportunities to attend classes until all employee requirements are met. Among other things, the parents ask the competent minister who and for what reason issued the order to the republican inspectorate for extraordinary inspection supervision of the work of the school principal, and clearly raise the question of responsibility if this school loses not only the authorizations of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) but also important contracts that as a school in dual education, it has with MTU Maintenance Serbia, Air Serbia, MUP RS and other companies and institutions.

According to the Commissioner for Independence of the High Council of Prosecutors, pressure on prosecutors in Serbia comes from various sources, but it seems not from the office of President Aleksandar Vučić. "The avoidance of Commissioner Milan Tkalac to explicitly state his position when it comes to the statements of the President of the Republic is professionally unacceptable," the President of the Association of Prosecutors of Serbia, Lidija Komlen Nikolić, told Vreme. What can the president say without it being understood as interfering with the independence of the judiciary
The progressive government is fighting hand and foot to win in two different places, because they would not dare to look at Aleksandar Vučić if they lose. On the other hand, the rest of Serbia is rooting for them to start from Zaječar and Kosjerić, so that they "go in order" across the country and thus see the backs of those who have been governing in every place, every street and every village for 13 years.
All the members of this body have never been changed. The election of Council members has never taken place in such a heated socio-political atmosphere. Brussels has never been so interested in the course and outcome of this process. Hence so much nervousness, passion and established illegalities for which no one has yet been held accountable
The toll of disobeying the law and high level corruption is rapidly taking an even greater toll. Let's list some cases: part of the ceiling at the Cardiology Clinic in Niš fell, and the ceiling at the Railway Station in Ćuprija also rattled. Previously, a pedestrian crossing bridge near the village of Vlahovo collapsed and a part of the wall at the school in Pećinci collapsed (two girls were slightly injured). There are also collapses of the concrete structure of the overpass on the expressway Požarevac-Veliko Gradište, ceiling falls in the school in Užice, in Saranov near Rača, at the Institute of Public Health in Kragujevac and near the kindergarten "Maja" in New Belgrade. So, all that from November 1 last year until today. It's not enough
While the student marathoners, after 18 days of relay running and 2000 kilometers covered, are talking to EU parliamentarians in Brussels, Vučić is meeting with the president of the European Council. In the background of these two events, the government's evident influence on the judiciary is reflected in two decisions: the extension of the detention of activists from Novi Sad and the requalification of the offense of the woman who hit a student with a car
The Republic of Serbia is in danger. If we remain silent on the rigged process against political prisoners in Novi Sad and the Kraljeva case where the victims were declared violent, soon we will all go on hunger and thirst strikes for a shred of justice
The regime's retaliation will be dire if the resistance falters. Now they want to imprison the people who talked about overthrowing the government because they were supposedly overthrowing the state. But the state was hijacked and overthrown by the regime a long time ago
The Ministry of Public Investment submitted a request for a building permit for the construction of a new building for the Belgrade Philharmonic. Given that it is known that the project is too expensive and that there is no money for it, it seems that this too is just another colorful lie
