University of Belgrade on Tuesday due to respond to Vucic's call to dialogue

BELGRADE - The management of the University of Belgrade could on Tuesday respond to a call to dialogue by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Tanjug learns.

Tanjug's sources at the University said the response was due on Tuesday.

Earlier on Monday, Vucic issued a call to dialogue to the Rector's Collegium of the University of Belgrade to find a solution to a situation in which higher education institutions remain blocked, with no classes being held, following the outbreak of student protests after the November 1 railway station tragedy in Novi Sad.

Vucic proposed that the dialogue begin on Wednesday, February 5, at any time suitable to the Collegium.

He noted that the call to dialogue was for the sake of the well-being of not only young people but entire society.

"In case students and professors hold the view that the demands have not been met in part or in full, dialogue must be opened on this and all other issues that could be of significance for overcoming the current situation," Vucic said, noting that authorities were ready to work day and night to meet all of the students' demands.
