"Politician Djokic is going from EU door to EU door, in order to slander Serbia. Today in Brussels, tomorrow who knows where. With the same task, to lobby against Serbia, to cause as much damage as possible to the people and the state," Vucevic said in a post on X, reacting to a meeting the rector of the University of Belgrade had with EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos.

Vucevic pointed out that Djokic previously refused to talk to the president of his own country.

"He does not respect the institutions of his country, while in Brussels he humbly bows down. Resign as rector, a role you have disgraced and abused, then travel wherever you want, politician Djokic," was Vucevic's message.

Rector Djokic met with Marta Kos in Brussels on Monday, and information about the meeting was published by Kos on her X account, stating that universities must remain places of critical thinking and open debate.

According to some media, the topics of discussion were the situation in Serbia, the state of universities, the election process, the path to the EU and reforms.

Djokic previously said that he was ready to become politically engaged if the anti-government students ("blockaders") and citizens who support them ask him to do so.

According to the Law on Higher Education, political activity is not allowed at higher educational institutions.
