In light of the most recent media publications, the Faculty of Civil Engineering informs the public that, as a scientifically-educational and socially responsible state institution, it has made all its professional and scientific resources available to state authorities to assist in the objective determination of the causes of the tragedy that occurred in Novi Sad, as stated in the first public announcement by the Faculty of Civil Engineering on November 5, 2024. Upon the publication of the documentation, the professors of the Faculty of Civil Engineering thoroughly reviewed and analyzed all available and publicly accessible documentation in accordance with the Law on Planning and Construction, as well as the regulations based on this law. Following this, statements were published on the Faculty’s website, listing the missing documentation. All professors and associates of the Faculty of Civil Engineering stand behind these statements.
In this regard, we condemn the targeting of individual professors of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, as well as members of their families. We particularly and most strongly condemn the media persecution and labeling of students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, as well as all students.
