Yesterday, part of the students of the University of Belgrade continued to blockade several faculties, demanding that those who perpetrated repression against the students, at the gatherings where honor was paid to those killed in Novi Sad, be held accountable.
They are also demanding the publication of all contracts related to the reconstruction of the Novi Sad Railway Station, where 1 people died and two were seriously injured in the fall of the canopy on November 15, as well as the release of activists and students arrested during rallies on that occasion.
The professor of the Faculty of Biology in Belgrade, Biljana Stojković, announced that the faculty has officially entered the blockade since yesterday, and that more than 80 percent of its students have declared in favor of it.
"I am proud of your maturity, awareness of the society in which you live and the courage to be free people," she wrote on the social network Iks.
Students from Novi Sad continue to block the work of the Faculty of Philosophy, and yesterday they were joined by colleagues from Niš blocking the University building in that city, Beta reported.
