>>2696809The parliamentarian stuff was decided in may. Between 15th march and may was the era where students promoted the idea of zbors. The peak of zbor activity was that one week in july where zbors blocked important street intersections in their area.
There wasn't really a lot of social demands even before, the big "social demand" people were talking about was the demand for increased public university funding, which is still an official demand, though the student demands were replaced but really by the demand for snap parliamentary elections.
Before the original demands were "concretized" there was the idea behind the funding demand instead being a free university demand, but students (due to lib brain probably) thought it was too much to ask and instead we got the funding demand.
In Serbia we already have a system where a number of slots in public faculties has free scholarship (they still have to buy books and stuff like that) so you don't have to pay it if you place well enough in the entrance exams and you maintain your budget status in following years by having better grades than the ones who don't have budget status. Students outside of the city who do well on the entrance exams can get a stipend (basically a small salary for being a student) and you might be able to get a room in the student dorm, but they don't have enough capacity. Free university education would mean not having to pay the scholarship and fees like the exam fee, basically everyone having budget status but better because you still pay some fees with budget status and you can lose it if you do too bad. I'm guessing it wouldn't do anything about the fact that the stipends and student dorm rooms are limited. The funding increase wouldn't do anything specific, since the ministry of education decides how it is spent. It could lead to more budget slots, more funding for academic research, something dumb or be stolen in some corruption scheme.
The parliamentary stuff might lead to some social democracy-type reforms. At least they would increase funding for public universities according to the original student demand, unless they decide to officially drop that demand. They might decide to do other such reforms too.
They might also improve the labor laws, since that was part of the initial draft of the student list's program that some faculty shared way back when the parliamentary stuff was just decided. The student movement has actually tried to link up with unions in the past but that didn't really work out, the only thing that resulted in was a single protest for labor rights on 1st may and nothing happened because of it. They also helped make some sort of union of labor unions, but that's also nothing because the small amount of unions that are a part of that are small and newly founded (the student movement predates them) and for only a few professions like teachers and IT. The IT one isn't even an labor union but a protest organization.
If you're fine with social democracy-type policies, then the student list is almost surely going to have better policies than SNS. The issue is that the student list members might out-lib the student movement and refuse to listen to them, or say something like "oh were here just to get rid of SNS, that's the priority, we're not doing anything else" and not do those policies. There's also a small danger of the student movement getting scammed to place that same limitation on the student list. Another danger is the current opposition parties somehow coming out on top and dictating the policies. Some of them might even have worse economic policies than SNS, and SNS's economic policies are about putting as much government money in their pockets as they can and doing what the EU and IMF tells them they must do.
