Lawyer Sara El Sarag stated that at today's extraordinary assembly of the Serbian Bar Association (AKS), lawyers decided to go on a seven-day work stoppage starting Monday, which, she emphasized, represents support for the students' demands.

In a statement to the Beta agency, she pointed out that the suspension of lawyers' work does not apply to preclusive deadlines regarding regular and extraordinary legal remedies.

She also appealed to the police and prosecutor's office "not to pretend to be diligent and hardworking, as they have not been so far, and to 'drill' the suspension of the lawyers' work," noting that any decision to detain or order detention would be illegal.

Immediately before today's AKS Assembly, law students from several cities submitted letters to lawyers stating that their strike would bring Serbia closer to social revival.
