The President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović, considers it normal that there has been no progress in the investigation of the attempted murder of "Vijesti" journalist Olivera Lakić for almost five months. He says that such a situation is "not desirable", but that it is "normal". Because: "We could also take a look at the experiences of the countries of the European Union, which, as you know, have been the subject of serious attention by the entire European public, so no one is threatening them with losing their EU member status," he said. Djukanovic.
After this, the only conclusion of every normal citizen of Montenegro could be: IT IS NOT NORMAL that this kind of politician is our president.
It is NOT NORMAL for the president of a European country, a future member of a big club, to relativize the crime, which further humiliates the victims of the attack, but also encourages the clients to new similar undertakings.
IT IS NOT NORMAL that the president of the country, which is the most serious candidate for membership in the community of the most democratic countries in the world, for the umpteenth time oppresses, and thus targets, the champions of the independent media and the NGO sector as enemies of the state because they, with their questions or research related to organized crime and corruption obstruct and trip up Montenegro on the path of integration.
IT IS NOT NORMAL for the head of a country that wants to join the European Union to question the credibility of the Community itself every few months, so that according to him it turns out that Montenegro should accept the membership of the EU, and not the other way around! Not normal, really.
IT IS NOT NORMAL that after each of the nearly 30 attacks on people and property of "Vijesti", the most powerful politician minimizes all these crimes, treating them as an "isolated incident" or a "normal thing", common to the rest of Europe.
IT IS NOT NORMAL for Montenegro to become the 29th member of the European Union with such a president, even though in some of the countries that are already there, to paraphrase only the president, there are people like him, for whom corruption and crime are "normal" phenomena, and "soroshoids" are their greatest enemies. .
IT IS NOT NORMAL for the president of a country from which the European Union has been asking for visible results in the field of the rule of law and in the fight against the mafia - to lightly state that such demands and expectations are not in accordance "with the real capabilities of (our) state apparatus".
It is NOT NORMAL that a politician truly committed to EU values does not see that it is NOT NORMAL that even after three decades of absolutist rule, he remains in politics, as a ballast and a weight on the neck of the entire society. Madness, my mother.
Unfortunately, there is little that is normal in the behavior of the president of the state in the last ten or more years. During that period, dialogue in society was meaningless and turned into violence against a different opinion, economic resources were plundered, indebtedness doubled, institutions were captured more than ever, while the conditions for the work of free media were returned to the level of the tragic 90s. And that's why, instead of concluding that it's NOT NORMAL that the politician most responsible for such a state of society still wants to stay at the head of the state and lead the processes, Đukanović returned to show what we expected - that he knows worse. And that it will be worse with him, both for European values and standards and for those who truly promote and protect them.
NOT NORMAL, President!
