Aleksandar Maršavelski reveals role advising Serbian students

Aleksandar Maršavelski, a professor at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Law, has revealed that he operated under the pseudonym “Friend of Students” to provide political advice and strategy to students involved in blockades in Serbia.

Maršavelski stated he used a pseudonym to avoid fueling President Aleksandar Vučić’s narrative regarding a “colored revolution.” According to his open letter, his involvement included visiting blocked faculties in Belgrade, delivering lectures, and proposing political organization strategies. He also claimed to have influenced discussions regarding the composition of the Student List.

Regarding the recent elections, Maršavelski congratulated the students on their results, suggesting the actual victory was greater than the official 53 percent. He expressed concerns that without a two-thirds majority in the Assembly, the ruling SNS party would maintain influence through institutions like the Constitutional Court, potentially sabotaging future reforms.
