PM agrees to Rector’s condition for meeting

Djokic will come to the meeting with his deputy rector and the four deans representing the medical, social-humanities, natural-mathematical and technical-technological groups of schools. He will present the Belgrade University platform for talks with officials as the starting point for the dialogue.

The rector said on Tuesday that he accepted Macut’s invitation to discuss problems in university-level education even though the prime minister did not reply to an invitation from the university for talks with all deans earlier this week. He added that he believes that the dialogue has to continue in the interest of the entire academic community, the state and society as a whole.

“I hope the dialogue will be a step forward in resolving the decades of problems in higher education and contribute to the necessary change of working atmosphere and an easing of tensions between all players in society,” Djokic said.
