Novi Sad Youth Theatre union demands director resignation

The trade union of the Youth Theatre in Novi Sad has demanded the immediate resignation of director Sergej Tamaš. The union issued an eight-day deadline for the resignation, citing several grievances.

According to the union, six individuals working under copyright contracts have not received monthly compensation in accordance with the Serbian government's regulation on minimum labor prices since the beginning of the year. Additionally, the union claims the director has failed to find a solution for the closed Great Stage since May 2025, which has compromised working conditions and the theatre's core activities.

The union has also called on the Novi Sad City Assembly to dismiss three members of the Board of Directors from the founding group. They argue these members are responsible for a lack of transparency and for failing to address the issues regarding the Great Stage. The union is requesting that the founder provide adequate replacement space for the theatre for up to one year while the main stage undergoes repairs.
