N1 reveals how it recruits for the camp in Pionirski Park in Belgrade: "These are paid students, they sit and lie like bears"

After numerous allegations that not only students but also extras are being brought to Pioneer Park in Belgrade, the N1 television crew managed to get in touch with those who are organizing the extras, the media outlet reports.

N1 journalist Mladen Savatović checked out what recruitment looks like, how much the daily wage is, and what needs to be done.

Milena: Please.

N1: Hello, good day.

Milena: Yes.

N1: Is that Milena?

Milena: Yes. And you?

N1: Mladen here from Belgrade.

Milena: How old are you?

N1: 28 years old.

Milena: Srećo, you want to be a student, where are you going to get me to put you in as a student? I can put you in two groups. I can put you in my group, but older people, but 20-somethings, you're too young. I can put you in, ask if I'm allowed, but I don't know. Young people aren't with me. I can put you in as a student, the same amount. I just have to ask the girl. I'm just asking so I know, will a student want to join, just asking as a human being here it's 80 euros... These students, just listen, they're students.. are you on the line?

N1: I am, I am, I'm here, I'm waiting.

Milena: These are students, how should I put it, paid. Who sit, lie down like bears, have a tent, but they won't tell me the price. I have to lead, to call another group to see if I can include you. I think it's 8.000, that's the same. Are they lying to me, now you hear me talking about 50 euros – they're lying. …Everyone here is making up some story.

Students demanding a return to classes and opposing the blockade of faculties in Serbia were joined yesterday at a camp in Pionirski Park in Belgrade by veterans of the Special Operations Unit (JSO), Beta news agency reports.

Former members of the JSO in the uniforms of that disbanded unit set up tents in front of the Serbian Presidency, a Beta news agency reporter reported.

Police officers securing the camp in Pionirski Park detained a man yesterday who, according to citizens present, was shouting at those gathered at the camp.

Dozens of tents were set up throughout the camp, with Serbian flags and banners with the words "Plenum down" hanging on them, and a sign reading "Street of students who want to study" was hung on a tree.
