Academic plenum: Vučić should resign immediately

The Academic Plenum today called on Aleksandar Vučić to immediately resign as President of Serbia due to inciting conflict and police brutality.

They stated that a "staged conflict" took place in Novi Sad last night, after which the police used unprecedented brutal force against students and citizens.

"The director of this event, as always, is the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, which he proved with his appearance at the press conference last night, where he could not hide his smile and happiness due to police brutality and the violence carried out against citizens," the Academic Plenum points out.

They also warn that every normal citizen is shocked by the scenes from Novi Sad, and that "only an inhuman - a desperate person who defends power at all costs" can rejoice in them.

"We call on all citizens to enter cases of police torture they have experienced into the 'The Day After' violence database. The Academic Plenum warns all members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the time will soon come when every police officer will be held responsible for excessive and unprovoked use of force," the statement said.
