Professor Radomir Saičić, an academic at the Faculty of Chemistry, fiercely criticized Serbian authorities during a protest on Slavija Square, stating, "We must fight for our civil rights, freedom has no price." He accused the government of a severe injustice, alleging they "beat children seeking justice, while protecting criminals who actively help murderers."
Saičić directed sharp criticism at what he called the "arrogant and corrupt government," asserting that it is dismantling the nation's legal framework, educational system, cultural institutions, environmental integrity, agriculture, information system, human dignity, and personal safety. He detailed how the country's air, water, and fertile lands are being polluted and transformed into mines, waste sites, and landfills.
The academic further condemned the government's actions, noting that a relevant minister advises farmers to abandon agriculture. He decried the media for disseminating lies and insults, and criticized the appointment of loyalists to school director positions who are allegedly destroying the educational system. Saičić also pointed to the president presenting individuals from "Ćacilend" as guardians of freedom and peace, while the police have transformed from protectors to enemies of the citizens.
He lamented that the government boasts about purchased weapons while ceding territories paid for with lives at the negotiating table, calling it an act of treason. Saičić criticized the composition of the parliament, stating it is filled with obedient parrots rather than individuals dedicated to Serbia. He also highlighted the government's alleged efforts to destroy the university, with ministers suggesting police have the right to kill students, returning them home in "body bags."
