Alleged Democratic Party influence on student blockades

Overview

Allegations have emerged suggesting that the Democratic Party (DS) is orchestrating student blockade movements to facilitate its return to political power in Serbia.

Initial reports accused Bojan Pajtić, a professor at the Faculty of Law in Novi Sad, of directing a network of influence to organize these blockades. These allegations claimed Pajtić provided instructions to key coordinators, including Vuk Stojić, Čedomir Đurin, and Dušan Simić, through coordinated efforts involving former provincial and Novi Sad DS structures.

Subsequent reports involving leaked correspondence further challenged the non-partisan claims of the student movement. These leaks suggested that Strahinja Simović, a former DS official and associate of Pajtić, may have been influencing activities from behind the scenes. The communications reportedly showed student coordinators, such as Luka Pantić, seeking advice from Simović regarding field campaigns and situational management.
