Students who want to study announced from Pionirski Park that they will go on a hunger strike if classes at faculties are not normalized by June 28. Student representative Miloš Pavlović said that after talks with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and consultations with parents, they decided to give the state a deadline until Vidovdan. They strongly condemn attacks on professors and point out that they are prevented from entering faculties while violent students are allowed in. The hunger strike is not a political performance but the last step in their fight against injustice.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets emphasize the students’ struggle for fair access to education and criticize the government’s failure to ensure safe and normalized conditions for study. They highlight the social injustice and the repression students face, framing the hunger strike as a legitimate form of protest against systemic issues.
Center: Center-leaning sources report the facts of the students’ announcement and the government’s response, focusing on the dialogue between students and authorities. They present the hunger strike as a serious but last-resort measure, emphasizing the need for resolution and normalization of academic activities.
Right: Right-leaning media stress the importance of law and order, condemning any violence on campuses and supporting the government’s efforts to maintain stability. They may portray the students’ hunger strike as a disruptive act but acknowledge the students’ concerns, urging for a swift resolution to restore normalcy.
