There is nothing to celebrate on Victory over Fascism Day. It is Judgment Day this year in the farce called the coup d'état. The day when the Montenegrin judiciary shined with its own by the process of the centuryagainst two leaders of the opposition, their driver, two Russians whom no one has seen alive, and several Serbian citizens, most of whom, even after months of public broadcasting of the trial, hardly seem capable of organizing a wedding, let alone a coup d'état. Judge Suzana Mugoša found all of them guilty of terrorism, sentencing them to prison terms of 18 months to 15 years. DF leaders Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević were each sentenced to five years in prison.
Although with elements of comedy, and foreign actors in the role of cooperating witnesses, the story of a coup d'état is, in fact, an authentic Montenegrin drama. Like those directed by Živko Nikolić. You watch and laugh with a sick feeling in your stomach. And with the fear that the laughter won't stop. And you know he has to. Judiciary under the control of the top of the government, irresponsible political leaders who grew up on war, as well as its alternatives that are not, can hardly produce a more cheerful genre. For now, it is certain, unfortunately, that the verdict will not be the end of the drama. We have to pray that it doesn't turn into a tragedy.
There are some other certainties. We know, for example, who doesn't even have to put on sunglasses when sitting in a bar or lock himself in an apartment, let alone barricade himself in the parliament in order not to end up in ZIKS. Svetozar Marović. Even though he was legally convicted as the head of an organized criminal group, which damaged the Budva coffers for tens of millions of euros, Marović is free somewhere in Belgrade, while the authorities here and there are getting angry with witless political remarks, such as, ask yours how he got out of the country, or ask theirs why they don't extradite him when they can. We also know that no one alive will answer because the main convict is at large for the case that the local judiciary is proud of when the fight against high corruption and organized crime is mentioned. And it should at least be introduced, when already high-ranking officials are not responsible either for bad performance of state work, or when they work part-time for the mafia, that the Chief reprimands them for witlessly composed and irritating political statements and announcements. Like, for example, the one that came out recently from the cabinet of the Minister of Justice Zoran Pažin, in which the minister claims that the sentence for Svetozar Marović is not out of date, as the Democrats claim, and in which he does not prove it in a single word. Unless he thinks that it is enough for us to believe him when he says that a "young Democrat" cannot know the law like he does. Because of that announcement, Pažin should be ordered to give the next two salaries as a donation to DPS. It will be valid now that Duško Knežević is not here.
There is nothing to celebrate here, not even Europe Day. Maybe we should start organizing concerts for China Day in the square. Here, the President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović, cried in Sarajevo in the manner - Europe, don't give us away, China and Russia will take us away from you. The president announced that Moscow is trying to prevent the expansion of NATO and the EU in the Balkans with politics and Beijing with loans.,,If the EU does not understand this, I am afraid that its own future could be threatened", said Đukanović.
Our future, unlike the European one, is bright. Because Đukanović and his Government must have been forced by some higher power to sign a loan agreement with China, and agree that the Chinese can take whatever they want from the territory, except the embassies, if we don't pay back the billion euros as agreed. According to relevant international assessments, we are one of the eight riskiest countries when it comes to Chinese loans. We, and seven African countries.
Good luck in the coming days. It will take.
