Students in blockade hold news conference: All contracts, public procurement to be examined in line with law
Students in the blockade today held a press conference in Pionirski Park in Belgrade.
"In the elections, the citizens gave a clear mandate for the rule of law. We are starting to implement that mandate immediately, without waiting for the formation of the government. We invite you to report any destruction of documentation and any abuse, we rely on honorable people, managers, journalists, prosecutors... Many of you were faithful under pressure, now we invite you to break free and report any abuse," said one of the representatives.
"They are already contacting us as whistleblowers, that's why we created the e-mail uzbunjivaci@studenti.org.rs where you can all report abuses," they invited the citizens.
"We demand the immediate removal of Vladimir Lucic as the head of Telekom and an immediate stop to the waste of money," they said, adding more demands such as "the immediate dismissal of all police officers who broke the law, as well as many leaders in the MUP" and immediate and irrevocable resignation of the BIA director.
"It is necessary to assign competent superiors to all positions in order to enable unhindered functioning. We also call on all those who were unfairly dismissed to return to their jobs," they said.
"The Student List requests from the chief public prosecutor for organized crime to urgently take action in all cases in which the public is interested and to immediately inform the public about it," they stated.
"We will make an urgent inventory in public institutions, including finances, public procurement and assumed obligations, and we invite citizens to report suspicious actions. All contracts and public procurement will be examined in line with the law. We have not come to commit revenge, but to return the institutions to the citizens."
This was the first press conference after election day, October 25, where they announced that they will present specific goals and talk about the next steps of the student movement.
"After a historic election day, we continue to communicate clearly and openly with the public about everything that follows," they said.
