These days, I run away from domestic channels and portals, I run away from pop stars, politicians, analysts... And who knows what final solution to the church's problems. We obviously don't have others, at least those who deserve about twenty prime time, and by God, prime time minutes of the national TV Dnevnik.
It's not up to us? It is, and how, you just have to look at the footage from Tirana. I feel like joining the protesters who have been commanding in unison since Zimus: "Rama, leave"!
They don't end up on the Street either, they don't like those who lead the protests either, their opposition leaders can't see each other with their eyes, the speakers there didn't become famous for their oratory, and they don't like boba music or can't be heard at all. .
None of that is important to them, they learned from earlier protests that it is much more important than companions and a road map that the big goal - even if it is far away - is attainable. And that it's the same for everyone...

I strongly doubt that our greatest novelist Borislav Pekić was translated into their language, but even without him, the rebellious Albanians understood that "freedom is not a momentary feeling of the state, but a permanent feeling of the goal".
That is why, despite everything that separates them, they are unique and persistent. That is why there is hope that Edi Rama will have to listen to them at some point. And that's why Milo Đukanović will never want us.
"He is my king", someone quoted a famous actor's line these days. Unfortunately, most people here are not acting, they are looking at him as if he really is. All he needs to do is write the end of his will according to the ancient script of Mir Vicković: "... and I leave the Blue Castle to my son Blaža"...

The citizens of Ulica, which is the only free institution in Tirana, demand the resignation of the architect of crime and corruption and tell him that he will end up in prison.
During the protests, state government buildings are secured by around 2.000 police officers and members of special units equipped to break up demonstrations.
The United States of America and the European Union invite the opposition to dialogue with the authorities and solve problems within the institutions.
The opposition claims that this is impossible, the authorities are masters of fraud and the institutions are not working.
An audio recording has also emerged showing that the ruling party stole votes in the 2017 elections.
It sounds familiar, the difference is in one detail - our recording was not only tonal, but it was forgotten in an instant...
It is the democratic right of citizens to protest, but violence will not be tolerated and that is why the leaders of the opposition bear the responsibility for solving the political crisis in the country - we have been listening to this platitude of the international community for months, as well as our neighbors.
We don't hear well, answered the protesters from Tirana, using the cunning of the former angry opponent from Belgrade.

And us? We are still waiting for Brussels to free us, even though we have been electing the same government ourselves for thirty years. If we get any help in the fight for freedom, it comes with a warning - stability, then democracy...
European rules are not for everyone, the Balkans have always been suspicious, even when they are on the right side of history...
That is why the West can pretend to believe Rama when he says that the opposition wants to threaten the democratic process, that it should not be taken seriously because its goal is to show that the country is not stable.
Why not, Rama has only been here for a year, our architect of crime and corruption has been taken at his word for three decades...
The humility with which the rest of the Montenegrin authorities reciprocate such trust borders on humiliation:
"We have received confirmation of our democratic potential, we have received confirmation of our freedom and independence", the prime minister was delighted with the opinion of several European officials. Almost like when, three years ago, the decade of independence and the millennium of statehood were celebrated here.

"Keep your hands off Montenegro, gentlemen, this is our country!" - he snarled at the neighbor, with whom we were on the best of terms the day before yesterday, a representative of the so-called healthy wing of Depees. Who was given that title only because he kept quiet about identity issues until recently. He never showed other symptoms that differed from the sick one.
"This is the last step of our policy in the emancipation of Montenegro as a free, independent and democratic society" - the disease apparently also spread to the healthy side. It's as if we are, not steps but miles, away from autocracy, corruption, crime, nepotism and captive institutions.
He also promised that irresponsible politicians, irresponsible governments and individuals from Serbia will not prevent us from taking that "last step". And it won't, Montenegro has not been short of irresponsible politicians and identical governments for thirty years.

"I could not believe that the Ostrog Monastery is not Montenegrin..." - the prime minister presented to the public just one of the proofs of the irresponsibility of this government. Whose he has been a part of for 28 years.
Well, when he became the Secretary General of the Government in 1991, there was no opportunity for him to deal with the protection of domestic property, we were occupying other people's property from Konavalo to Bania. The Serbian clergy was at our side in that business, there was no reason to doubt either him or his church.
However, it is not good that the DM did not find out until the end of his mandate in 1998 that, in that very period, a good part of 11 million square meters and about 500 temples was transferred to the Serbian Orthodox Church.
Maybe he couldn't, he was just a secretary. It could also be that he never picked up either Liberal or Monitor, even though the headlines about the trafficking of churches and monasteries have been hurting our eyes since 1996.
But if the DM did not learn anything about the changes in the ownership of national assets even during the next decade, as the head of the SDB and ANB - well, that doesn't happen...

That the prime minister is in bad standing with the past, he tried to hide the so-called Public service. It is difficult to make a cut between connected sentences in fluent speech, but there they still managed to cut behind Ostrog.
"I could not believe that the Ostrog Monastery is not Montenegrin, it seems that neither is this monastery in Cetinje, and it does not seem to be the Morača Monastery either. It must be and it is state property, it is state property"...
This excerpt from the prime minister's speech in Kolašin was played in its entirety on all channels and portals. And then, during Dnevnik TVCG at 22.30:XNUMX p.m., the Cetinje Monastery and the Morača Monastery magically disappeared. Ostrog remained, the samcijat himself, glory and mercy to him...
And us, if we survive this mess. And it has only just begun...
PS According to what ownership criteria the Cetinje monastery was deleted from the video and Ostrog was left, I don't understand. And why did the Morača Monastery disappear, it is written even in the tourist brochures of Kolašin. It's a pity that the prime minister didn't look through them, he would have found Stefan Nemanja's grandson there. And avoided this mess with subsequent whitewashing on the so-called Public service. Maybe then someone would believe him that the law is not really being passed "to fight around Montenegro"...
