Mass strongly condemns the attack on our member and colleague assistant professor Dink Gruhonjić, editor-in-chief of the Vojvodina Research and Analytical Center (VOICE). Extremist groups that are the organizers of this shameful act are apparently operating unhindered in Serbia, spreading an atmosphere of fear with verbal threats and endangering the safety of political dissenters. We see the attack on colleague Gruhonjić as an attack on the right to free opinion and express one's views and beliefs, either through academic work or through journalistic texts.
We appeal to the general public, to the citizens of Novi Sad, Dink's neighbors, as well as the citizens of all of Serbia to become active and not allow extreme groups to rule our lives with their intimidation. We request the competent authorities to urgently take adequate measures in order to prevent threatening acts that cause incalculable damage to the entire society.
