On July 1, an "incident" took place at the Faculty of Political Sciences against free thought, freedom of expression and civil freedom to ask an open question in an open discussion, Đorđe Otašević, the youth secretary of Democratic Montenegro, announced today.
"The guest of the faculty, Milo Đukanović, gave a lecture about the results of independence and where our country is 10 years later. Young minds, eager for knowledge, were there to listen. In a full hall where there were more professors and representatives of the media than students ( probably because of the regime of reporting attendance, which is why I myself, thanks to the intervention, entered), the Prime Minister gave a spirited lecture on the causes and consequences on May 21," Otašević pointed out.
He added that whether he agreed or not with the views expressed by Đukanović, he had the need to ask a question that concerns him and others similar to him, graduates of higher education who are Sisypheanly looking for a job in the field for which they were educated.
"Obviously I wasn't representative enough to get a chance to ask a question or voice my opinion. Although it was more than obvious to the entire auditorium and the security gentlemen, one of whom was standing right next to me (probably because I was squirming like I was in the electric chair or for fear of telling a killer good joke), the only thing was that it was not obvious to Mr. Dean, who, although he was looking directly at me and my raised hand, did not give me the opportunity to ask the desired question," Otašević said.
According to him, the questions were indeed asked by the best students.
"I know they are the best, because I used to teach them and I am proud of them and their success. That still does not change the fact that the faculty, because the head of the faculty presided, silenced me. They were afraid that I would tell the truth about the faculty. O the way they treat their students and postgraduates only like a big piggy bank. They were afraid that I would ask where the diplomas are and why I have been waiting for half a year for my master's degree to be issued, and the specialists wait so long that they have forgotten that they specialize. Maybe they were afraid that I would emphasize that it is thanks to a large part of my efforts that the respected dean is in the place he is now. None of that matters," said Otašević.
The secretary of the Young Democrats claims that he wanted to question Djukanović's claims about the competitiveness of state university degrees in Europe.
"How can our diplomas be competitive in Europe when the system does not allow us to check their validity in Montenegro? What happened to the tens of thousands of promised jobs, to the loans that the Prime Minister said that university graduates could get without interest, with our chances to at least be tested in practice and what have we learned in, in my case, five years of study?" Otašević asks.
As he said, HonFPN tells the leaders to stand proudly behind each of their grades, whether it's a six or a ten.
"I don't care about you, just like you didn't care about me, and I'm sure about most of the other students, too. I renounce you and your teaching methods, your principledness to be ascetic in one of the few faculties that should have absolutely free and critical thinking, I also renounce your useless diploma that only takes up space in a folder with documents. I will not renounce the knowledge I acquired during my studies, not thanks to you, but to the rare professors who made me once a proud son of Political Sciences in Podgorica. I will not don't even give up your own opinion, which you prevented from being expressed, even though you should support it, considering that there are most of your students at the employment office.
