Director of the elementary school "Momcilo Zivojinovic" resigned after political pressure – Belgrade

After frequent political pressure and, as he says, the inability to continue his work properly, director of the elementary school "Momcilo Zivojinovic" of Mladenovac, Vesna Vlajić resigned yesterday to this position.

We recall that the dismissal of Vlajic was launched earlier this month, which Danas wrote, "without convincing arguments, at the request of representatives of local governments, because that it is politically indecent that he is not part of the SNS in power, but that he is also the mother of Stevan Vlajić, the ideological creator of LJubiša Preletačević Belog's character ".

This is how Stevan Vlajić evaluated the situation in a letter open to the public, indicating an "awkward and arrogant" attempt to remove his mother from a position he had held since 2007, a year and a half before Expiration of his term of office. He added that the post was being prepared to come to the office Miljan Novovic, "director of the SNS Mladenovac", currently responsible for school sports in this municipality, and behind him Vladan Glisic, president of the municipality of Mladenovac. Against the dismissal of Vlajic, the school collective, which held last Saturday a protest meeting in this municipality, with the local population who supports his work, has decisively declared.

However, before the beginning of the session of the School Board, of which the member of the unit of local self-government raised the issue of reconsidering the confidence of the director, Vesna Vlajić announced in his statement at the local portal Mladenovac uživo that she resigned.

– I resigned because of the pressures we face from the school collector and myself, and for which I can not do my job well. It is a resigned resignation of the president of the municipality, Vladan Glisic, because of personal animosity towards me, because, as he says, I am "disobedient, unsuitable and irreconcilable" no matter what it means. In our collective, it means a professional, a college and a man. The other reason is that I am the mother of Stevan Vlajic, one of the founders of the movement "White, only strong". My collective knows that in this school there has never been a policy, and none of these reasons speak of my lack of professionalism or my incompetence. I am fortunate to be a true collective who needs to educate children and who always recognizes good values. If they are not recognized in today's society, this does not mean that anyone should give up, said Vlajić.

She resigned, she said, because she allowed this law to keep her job after 28 years of work. "If the school board issues a resolution on the dismissal, I would wait for the minister's response from seven days to one year. That would mean that this entire period as a director should work under pressure, probably as I ordered, which I have never worked, and I would not bring my collective into this situation. " said Vlajićeva, who will be reassigned to the teaching post. Separate division of Rajkovac.

She added that the school board had not asked for a review of the legality of her work because she did not file a request for inspection services on the basis of which the evidence could be discussed . "And there were a lot of baseless reports earlier, so they know that there's nothing illegal there, and now they're making decisions based on innuendo." is terrible, it is that they are in their hands and that they have a knife and a cake, "said Vlajic, who carried the portal of Mladenovac Live. On the allegations that Miljan Novovic is a potential candidate for the post of director, Vlajic says that he "has been self-promoted as a director for two years, promising and threatening people" and that "he's not sure. Was not in campaign, he was deceived by the collective and advertising ". Vlajić stressed that "if necessary, the collective will publish a correspondence from his colleague Novović with" superiors "on" what must be done, who must be blacklisted, what documents should be removed from the school " "We are an example of good collective, and I pray my parents that if there are problems in the organization of the school, they do not come home, but directly to the office of the president of the municipality ", Vlajićeva concluded.

" The arguments put forward by the members of the school board are a lot of nonsense, everything allegedly controversial is documented, and Vesna Vlajić and her employees have been constant inspections for years (making work unnecessarily even for inspectors), anonymous complaints and letters from worried parents (who are not just parents of schoolchildren) "is in a open letter to Stev the Vlajic
