Nis Students to Blockade Amidst Expo, Accusing Government of Education Neglect

University of Nis Students Plan Blockade Amidst Expo, Criticizing Government's Education Policies Students at the University of Nis in Serbia are planning a blockade to protest the government's perceived lack of attention to education. The protest coincides with the upcoming Expo event. Jovan Zivkovic, a student at the Faculty of Philosophy, voiced his concerns in a recent video, stating, "To dovoljno govori o tome koliko on sam, a koliko ova vlast, vidi obrazovanje kao jednog važnog nosioca društva." This translates to, "This speaks volumes about how much he himself, and how much this government, sees education as an important pillar of society." Zivkovic's comments highlight the students' frustration with the government's response to their demands. The blockade is planned to continue until their demands are met. The protest adds another layer of complexity to the already tense political climate surrounding the Expo event.
