Professor Dejan Pavlović from the Faculty of Political Sciences expressed concern over selective judicial actions and lack of equality before the law in cases of violence, especially in the context of student protests and blockades. He warns about the danger of using heavy political labels such as “Nazis” and “Fascists,” which only deepen the spiral of violence in society. Pavlović emphasizes that problems in higher education did not start recently, but the state has previously neglected its obligations towards universities. The professor calls for the abolition of the decree on work standards, amendments to the higher education law, and setting quotas for student admissions. He also warns that the collapse of institutions leads to a social state without trust in the system, which can result in anomie and violence.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets emphasize the systemic issues in the justice system and education, highlighting the state’s neglect of universities and the need for reforms. They focus on the social consequences of institutional collapse and the dangers of escalating violence and political labeling.
Center: Center-leaning sources present a balanced view, acknowledging the concerns about selective justice and institutional problems while also noting the complexity of the situation. They stress the importance of dialogue and reforms to restore trust in institutions.
Right: Right-leaning media may focus on law and order, supporting swift police and judicial responses to violence, and may criticize protests and blockades as disruptive. They might downplay systemic issues and emphasize the need to maintain stability and respect for institutions.
