Serbian government and academic institution tensions

Overview

The academic initiative ‘Rebellious University’ has accused the Serbian government of incompetence and abandoning constitutional duties during its first 15 months in office. The group alleges a systematic erosion of university autonomy through financial pressures, police raids on campuses, and illegal interference in academic elections. They specifically cited the enforcement of Regulation 5/35 as a factor damaging Serbia’s international scientific standing.

Following these allegations of institutional interference, the Serbian government dismissed several high-ranking academics and officials associated with the University of Belgrade. Notable removals include Professor Nebojša Bojović and Vladan Đokić, as well as Professor Dejan Filipović from his role at the Spatial Planning and Urbanism Agency. These dismissals were conducted without provided explanations, which observers suggest indicates an ongoing confrontation between the administration and the academic community.
