It was not for nothing that Konjević Raško entered urban poetry. Not as a deputy or vice president of the Montenegrin JUL, but as a metaphor. In any work of art, the figures and events have no relation to real people and events. That's why "Antonio Sanchez and Sons of Whores" took Konjević Raško as a prototype that most vividly reflects their view of the state of society. It was not only a sign of anarchist protest by a group of artists, but the cry of a generation. For today's generation of young people who are entering life and need to decide on the future, Konjević Raško is shown as an example that should not be followed - a follower, a careerist, a demagogue...

The case of Minister Raško Konjević shows that sometimes life surpasses artistic imagination. Since his appointment as police chief, he has shown that he has far surpassed the image painted on him by "Antonio Sanchez..." Instead of a harmless and obedient careerist, we now see a new face, a cold predatory police chief of a decrepit regime. Raško's first action, that is, assistance, as he would say, was a strike against crime. 5 former directors of CKB were arrested because Trujillo's prosecutor's office (the Dominican dictator was called Capricorn) revealed to them that of the hundreds of thousands of loans issued, several of them were without adequate guarantees!

However, it is not disputed that Raško assisted Milo in this action! That is the task of his ministry. To do as ordered! What followed after that is disputed. Namely, the Minister of the Republic of Croatia was the first to run to brag to the nation through the media that he had started his mandate without compromise. He hit the very heart of the mob! Then he was so overcome by that success that the next day at the Security Committee he told fairy tales about how he was going to make the Montenegrin Uskok! When the Croats can do what we can't, says the first policeman. He even points out a positive example of the infamous Serbs - if Vučić can do it, he thinks, why can't Konjević!

The matter was tragicomic while Raško Konjević was a solo singer. When we got the orchestra, then everything took on an ominous shape. Trujillo is the conductor, and Raško and Ranko are the performers. Unprovoked, Ranko Krivokapić reproachfully addressed the judges - either you will play in our orchestra with operatives from the police and prosecutor's office, or you will not be there. Sounds familiar. So, Milo draws a target, Ranko gives political support, and Raško, Ranka and Vesna put their plan into action. By summary procedure. And then Duško informs Brussels that we are going after big fish. Cynical, isn't it.

The court adjourned this time and the JUL leader is very angry. So much so that he cannot control himself, but publicly exposes the nature of the regime he has unconditionally served for a decade.

But Krivokapić is also aware of the danger from the other side. If the People's Court maintains its neutrality and ensures legal proceedings, a possible collusion could be exposed. Hypothetically - if the Court eventually establishes the innocence of the suspects, it will turn out that everything was a farce and the political persecution of critics of the regime. Vijesti, Monitor and above all Professor Perović, whom Trujillo targeted as his main enemy in the recent election campaign. If the indictment falls in court, in which orchestra will Konjević and Krivokapić sing? "Antonio Sanchez..." would take the stage: everyone who "won't be Konjević Raško, Vojičić Zeko and Đuranović Draško" - has to pass as Professor Perović. To be crucified and their family imprisoned.

What, in addition, causes suspicion and reserve is the fact that the head of the regime decided to attack not Professor Perović, but his sister. Cynically speaking - you called my sister, who is mentioned by the stupid American prosecutor's office, and now my prosecutor's office, wise and clever of course, will find something for yours!

Can we then, in such circumstances, talk about a legal state that treats every individual in an equal way, or about the abuse of that sacred principle of every democratic order! If the former is the case, everything is disputed in CKB, of course, it should be investigated. If the second is a staged process, then it would have to be stated that we have entered the final phase of a dictatorship in which the regime will not hesitate to liquidate, arrest and publicly lynch its opponents in order to maintain control over society.

But let me return to "Antonio Sanchez" and his hero. Minister Konjević knows very well that the Croatian Uskok, to which he refers, did not work in Croatia during Tuđaman's time, nor did the Serbian police and prosecutors begin to deal with the mafia and corruption during the time of Milošević. Several governments and several political sets were changed in both Croatia and Serbia in order to free the situation so that institutions could do their work professionally. Without Marović's tweezers and selectivity. Thanks to that, after all, one Croatian prime minister ended up in prison. Plus the deputy prime minister and a couple of ministers. As well as a number of board members of public companies. And Konjević Raško announces to us that under Truhilja he will start an uncompromising fight against the mafia and corruption?! Well, then you should start with your boss - our prime minister! And not, under his overcoat, chirping about professional police and independent prosecution. Because selective justice is the greatest injustice. A sign of dictatorship and lawlessness.

That's why the orchestra formed by the new prime minister sounds so infamous. And it reminds of the celebration of Capricorn. It turns out that anyone who opposes the dictator can easily be liquidated - physically, financially or morally. That is why their media, police, prosecution and mafia serve. What a force. So who can oppose that?!

But, Capricorn also lost in the end. And Stalin. Franco and Pinochet. And Honecker. What Minister Konjević should know is that he is still young to end up like that. Because after every dictatorship, perhaps even undeservedly, the names of the infamous heads of the police and prosecutor's offices remain inscribed in the history of the people with a more shameful name than the dictators themselves. That's why Raško Konjević should once again think about the message of "Antonio Sanchez and Sons of Whores" - I won't be Konjević Raško, Me!
