Unhappy with the questions asked to him, the Minister of Education, Mladen Sarcevic verbally attacked our colleagues in Nis and adjourned the press conference. Asked by a journalist to answer a question about the three deans of the University of Nis faculty, Sarcevic replied: “You would get the answer if you were normal , but you are not.” In addition, this senior state official pushed the microphone away  and called the N1 Television reporter a bully.
