The international organization “Scholars at Risk” has raised concerns regarding the potential dismissal of professors at the University of Novi Sad. The organization reports these dismissals appear to be acts of retaliation. Details surrounding the specific reasons for the potential job losses remain limited in the initial report. “Scholars at Risk” advocates for the protection of academics globally and investigates threats to academic freedom. This situation in Serbia highlights ongoing concerns about academic independence and potential political interference within higher education institutions. The organization is monitoring the developments and assessing the extent of the risk to the affected professors’ positions. Further investigation is needed to determine the full scope and justification for these actions.
