The director of the Clinical Center University of Sarajevo (UNSA) and representative in the Canton Sarajevo (CS) Assembly Sebija Izetbegovic spoke out after yesterday’s decision of the Senate of the UNSA to revoke her title of full professor.
“These are exclusively politically motivated procedures that are carried out for the purpose of achieving certain political agendas, as well as for the purpose of my personal discrediting. The manner in which this is done will surely be remembered as the dark period of the autocratic rule of Rector Skrijelj of UNSA, who in his vengeful urge does not stop himself from instrumentalizing the Senate of the University, nor from abusing valid proceedings and procedures in the rudest way,” Izetbegovic stated.
She said that such a case was unprecedented at UNSA.
“The demonstrated degree of violation of the Law on Higher Education and the Statute of UNSA has certainly not been recorded in the work of the University so far. Such a thing is only possible in the blindness of hatred and intolerance that rector Skrijelj publicly manifests, both towards the SDA and in relation to my personality. That this is a brutal inquisition procedure, in the implementation of which basic legal postulates are not respected, is confirmed by numerous violations of the Law on Higher Education and the Statute of UNSA, to which Rector Skrijelj likes to refer,” the director of the Clinical Center UNSA added.
In the end, Izetbegovic said that it is logical to ask the question, how it is possible to illegally obtain a master’s degree at the Faculty of Medicine and be elected to an academic position at the University, without anyone being held accountable for such alleged illegalities?
“With these actions, Rector Skrijelj is not only harming me but at the same time, he is permanently and irreversibly damaging the reputation of UNSA. Due to all of the above, Rector Skrijelj will have the opportunity to prove his claims with facts and evidence in court proceedings, but also before the competent prosecution, and not only by the hands of those senators who knowingly or unknowingly agree to be participants in the period of obscurity at the UNSA,” Sebija Izetbegovic concluded, Klix.ba reports.
