Protesters in Novi Sad attacked police in front of the university building
In front of the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, protesters used physical force to prevent police officers called by the dean from approaching the building. This was announced on August 26 by the country's Interior Minister Ivica Dacic.
"The gathered protesters, who were blocking the passage, tried to prevent the arrival of police special forces. They not only verbally protested, but also physically pushed them away," he was quoted as saying on the website of the Serbian Interior Ministry.
A source told Izvestia that the police are currently trying not to use force against the protesters.
"When the police tried to enter the building to check if everything was in order, the protesters tried to storm the door, but they failed. As a result, so far the police have retreated a little so as not to cause much tension," said Sergey Petrov, a correspondent for Izvestia.
It is specified that negotiations are underway between students and police representatives.
