Serbian Prime Minister Prof. Dr. Đuro Macut stated that some media outlets have misused his work and the government’s good intentions regarding the situation at universities, attempting to portray him negatively. He emphasized having excellent professional and friendly relations with SNS advisor Miloš Vučević despite media manipulations. The Serbian government also announced that the Rector of the University of Belgrade, Vladan Đokić, was not invited to the Prime Minister’s meeting with other university rectors, and that information about his absence was malicious. The meetings were held to resolve the university situation and agree on the model for completing the academic year.
