The Rector's Collegium and the deans of the faculties of the University of Belgrade condemned the fact that certain tabloid media in Serbia and government representatives turned the death of a student at the Faculty of Philosophy into a reason for a frenzied hunt for the Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, Danijela Sinani, the Rector of the University, Vladan Đokić, and the academic community as a whole.

"No one has the right, in violation of laws and ethical principles, to judge and adjudicate in television studios and on social networks, based on false information, slander, and unprofessional and malicious interpretations," they said in a statement posted on the social network Instagram.

They added that the University of Belgrade provides support to colleagues in defending their right to truth, justice, dignity and respect for the principles of the rule of law.

"We demand responsibility, restraint and respect for the dignity of the deceased student, her family and all members of the academic community from all actors in public life," they stated.
