The Equality Commissioner has reported that Đuro Strugar Elementary School in New Belgrade has failed to comply with a recommendation to reinstate a Russian language teacher. The commissioner issued the recommendation following a previous complaint, details of which were not immediately disclosed. School officials have not publicly commented on the decision to disregard the recommendation. This non-compliance raises questions about the school’s adherence to equality and non-discrimination principles. The commissioner’s office may now consider further action, though the nature of that action remains unspecified. The case highlights potential tensions regarding employment rights and institutional responsiveness to equality mandates within the Serbian education system. Further investigation is needed to understand the full context of the original complaint and the school’s rationale.
