Impression of the week: A report without a report

After a pitiful delay, making a mockery of higher education, we see this decision of Megatrend’s external commission as one of the many acts of the Serbian academic tragedy.

The shameless plagiarism of Aleksandar Šapić

Balkanist – Aleksandar Šapić has sunk deeper into the Serbian academic mud than Mr Stefanović, not because of his tattoos or his (indisputably outstanding) athletic career, but because his plagiarism is more serious, extensive and shameless than that of Mr Stefanović.

THE PETITION

We, the undersigned university professors, lecturers, assistants, researchers, doctors and doctoral students, support the efforts of our colleagues to shed light on the unethical actions that characterize a segment of the Serbian academic community.

Getting a PhD in Serbia: the case of minister Stefanović

Balkanist – A person who is ready to “push” a scientifically worthless paper, especially plagiarism, as a PhD dissertation, is not fit to hold public office.
