On December 9, 2024, during a student meeting held in the FMU hall starting at 5:30 PM, a blockade of the Faculty of Music Arts was announced.
The blockade will take effect from Wednesday, December 11, 2024, symbolically starting at 11:52 AM.
The blockade was voted in via an online poll conducted through the e-student platform, with over 50% of the student body participating.
We believe it is necessary for all of us to stand with our colleagues, especially those from the University of Arts, with whom we share strong professional and collegial ties. We hereby reiterate our condemnation of the violence inflicted upon students, professors, and teachers during the peaceful expression of grief for the victims in Novi Sad.
As future artists and scholars who wish to enrich the culture of our country, we demand to live in a civilized society where all human rights are respected. We appeal to the authorities to take action.
All future decisions regarding further steps will be made at student meetings where all students of our Faculty can attend and have the right to vote.
We distance ourselves from all parties, formal and informal groups, to preserve the autonomy of the students.
Students of the Faculty of Music
