Over 1,500 students at the University of Novi Sad have signed a petition protesting a decision requiring them to pay 20,000 dinars (approximately €170) to remain in university dormitories over the summer break, or face eviction. Students argue the fee is unaffordable and are requesting to continue residing in the dorms under the existing subsidized rates. The petition highlights the financial difficulties many students face and the lack of alternative affordable housing options during the summer months. University officials have not yet publicly responded to the petition. Student representatives are seeking a meeting with university administration to negotiate a solution. The students emphasize the importance of stable housing for continuing their studies and maintaining academic performance. This situation reflects broader concerns about the availability and affordability of student accommodation in Serbia.
