The network of professors, associates, researchers, and other employees at the University of Novi Sad and other higher education institutions in Vojvodina, "Slobodan University," has announced its strong opposition to the manner in which their university has been involved in the process of proposing members of the REM Council, as well as to the candidates that have emerged from that process.
Snježana Milivojević on REM: The greatest conflict is centered around the media; the authorities will not easily relinquish control.
"Very little can surprise us anymore in this long process of selecting the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media (REM), which has been ongoing for a significantly longer time than it currently appears. What is unusual is that beneath a major student victory and the pressure they exerted for the competition to be repeated, there seems to be agreement among the authorities, the public, and the EU to conclude this process by the end of summer. However, beneath this apparent consensus, everything is actually boiling over; I believe there is no real consensus, as all participants have different ideas on how to bring this process to a close, and I have no optimism about how it will turn out," said Professor Snježana Milivojević from the Faculty of Political Sciences for N1.
