The Education Bureau has recommended that elementary schools postpone any planned excursions to Serbia at this time, "Vijesti" has learned.
According to the same information, the reason for this, as stated in a letter sent to all elementary schools in the country, is the current situation in that country.
"We ask the Parents' Council, as the decision-maker, and the school, as the organizer of the excursion, to reconsider their decision and postpone the planned excursion or, possibly, design an alternative destination that will meet the requirements of safe travel," reads a letter from the Institute for Education sent to all elementary schools.
The parents' councils of several elementary schools previously expressed concern regarding the organization of student excursions in Serbia, which is why the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation (MESI) contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) to obtain an opinion on the safety of our students' departure to the aforementioned destination.
The MFA's response, which was submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that the political situation in Serbia "has become complex, with daily protests."
"Regarding your address of August 18, 2025, which referred to the assessment of the safety of travel to the Republic of Serbia, and taking into account the assessments of the relevant security authorities and the recommendations of the Embassy of Montenegro in the Republic of Serbia, we inform you that the political situation in the Republic of Serbia has become complex, with daily protests in cities across Serbia, and clashes between citizens and the police. Protests are organized without pre-determined dates, and there are often random blockages of roads, so it is important to keep in mind that it is impossible to assess in advance the traffic situation and possible difficulties that may significantly affect the mobility of movement throughout the country. Caution and detailed information before the trip are recommended," the MFA letter sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
