Belgrade Law Faculty Plenum Condemns Sabotage of Student Movement

The Plenum of the University of Belgrade's Law Faculty issued a strong condemnation on Thursday against what it termed threats, aggressive behavior, and ongoing sabotage targeting the student movement and the plenum itself. The faculty body accused specific groups of undermining their work through illicit means.

In a statement released via the official social media account of the student blockade of the Law Faculty, the plenum detailed the alleged sabotage. They claim that meetings and plenum sessions are being recorded, with these recordings subsequently sent to "regime media." The Plenum explicitly identified the Youth of the NDSS (New Democratic Party of Serbia) as the perpetrators of this alleged sabotage.

The Plenum further stated its dissociation from the actions of the Youth of NDSS. "We apostrophize the continuous cooperation of the aforementioned youth with individuals close to the SNS and the BIA," the statement read, alleging a connection between the Youth of NDSS and figures associated with the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and the Security Information Agency (BIA).

Furthermore, the Plenum expressed its view that members of parties that did not support the "Student List" should not participate in the decision-making bodies of the student movement, particularly concerning the "Student List" itself, due to potential conflicts of interest. This statement reflects internal tensions and accusations of external interference within the student political activities at the faculty.
