Those silly cameras are making it hard for me to concentrate on my crib sheets

Boy, is THIS ever an inventive excuse:

A Bosnian university's decision to clamp down on widespread cheating by installing surveillance cameras has sparked complaints from students, a professor said. "We have already received complaints from some students who claimed it is difficult to concentrate on their exams while being filmed" a week after the cameras were put in place in the economics faculty, said Banja Luka University's Goran Radivojac...

"Cheating in exams is a part of our Balkan mentality and it will take years to change students' mentality, but I believe that corruption in our faculty will be minimised by this," he added.

Is that really something you want to mention to a reporter?
