The Faculty of Political Sciences (FPN) at the University of Belgrade has strongly condemned the death threats made against Biljana Đorđević – a Member of Parliament, co-chair of the Green-Left Front (ZLF), and an assistant professor at FPN.
In an official statement, the faculty said that attacks on an elected representative are attacks on all citizens, on all women, and on the dignity of democratic institutions.
“FPN, as an authentic school of democracy, will continue to insist that no one is above the law, and that the primary duty of institutions is to guarantee human dignity, personal security, and fundamental rights for all citizens,” the statement read.
The incident has once again raised questions about the increasingly hostile political climate under President Aleksandar Vučić, where critics argue that ruling structures actively encourage a toxic environment that normalizes threats and intimidation toward opposition figures.
ZLF reported that student Vladimir Balać, from the protest camp outside the Serbian parliament, issued death threats — specifically threats of murder and throat-slitting — toward Đorđević as she was leaving the National Assembly.
According to the party, the threats escalated after Đorđević recorded the installation of new structures in what activists call “Ćaćilend”. Balać allegedly began recording her, warned he would “slit her throat” if she published the footage, made gestures imitating a throat being cut, and continued following and filming her as she walked away.
The university called on the competent prosecutor’s office to launch an investigation and determine the circumstances of the case.
Observers note that such incidents have become disturbingly frequent; yet state institutions remain passive, deepening public suspicion that the ruling SNS government tolerates violent rhetoric — especially when directed at opposition women.
