Serb academia merits support despite regime

Article Abstract:

Apolitical academics from the University of Belgrade are seeking international support for the Alternative Academic Education Network (AAEN) which aims to consider new ideas from within a free intellectual environment. The AAEN is not a subversive group and does not seek to produce dissidents, although it was established in light of attacks on academics critical of Serb President Slobodan Milosevic. The AAEN hopes to provide a democratic learning environment for intelligent youngsters and is seeking professional, as opposed to political, assistance from their counterparts overseas.
