Belgrade University deans call for general strike

The Expanded Rector’s Collegium appealed to the authorities to meet the legitimate demands of the students and condemn hate speech and all other forms of violence against the academic community. “Verbal and physical assaults and intolerance towards students have to stop,” a press release said.

University students joined calls for a general strike following more than 2 months of protests to demand accountability for the deaths of 15 people at Novi Sad Railway Station.
