Serbia and Montenegro - community of reds

In the Belgrade media, it was recently triumphantly announced that the former president of Thailand, Yingluck Shinawatra, has become the richest Serbian woman (I can also give her a Serbian name - Jaglika - the name was given if the house was in mourning, but in this particular case it was about joy).

She presented her enormous wealth acquired through corruption and other actions, as stated in the indictment of the Thai court. In Serbia, where she flew on the wings of an international red warrant, she received citizenship, with an agreement that she would invest part of her money (dirty?) in the development of her new homeland.

I would not interfere in the internal affairs of another state if it did not remind me of the similarity with the case of my own state. Namely, in the same way, her brother Thaksin Shinawatra (be careful not to replace the letters ao), also the former head of Thailand, also accused in his country of enormous wealth acquired through corruption and other illegal actions, also flew to Montenegro on the wings of a red warrant, also received express citizenship upon arrival in Montenegro, with the promise, also, that he would invest part of his money (dirty?) in the development of the new homeland. It has not been announced whether Mr. Šinavatra is a richer Montenegrin.

Both newcomers equally say that they are received in their new homelands so well that they feel at home.

There will certainly be benefits from their investment, they say in both countries. Uses, but how many uses, but for whom all.

I thought, which country did better with newcomers. Well, for a nuance - Serbia. At least in beauty. The association goes to the folk one: "... Don't you see, son of Mitra, that your wife is cheating on you... If, mother, at least it's beautiful". And who with the Shinavatras is cheating whom in Serbia and Montenegro, it's useless for you to check. It can only be asserted that this, with the citizenship of rich foreigners, is part of a system in which finger by finger of national wealth and face is being sold. Although, it is known, throughout history, the most sacred oath among Montenegrins was the face. "My cheek is mine", then touch your cheek with your finger, so that there is no confusion.

One should not be a slave to history, they say in the language of modern history. Because, in this transitional time, everything is the market and on the market. Like in the market: if you don't have to pay, don't take the goods, whatever the name of the goods.

The previous category of deportees with warrants reminds me of deportees, refugees of a different kind, those who found refuge in Montenegro, fleeing, or future expelled from warring ex-yu areas. These refugees have been among us for more than two decades. The citizens of Montenegro are rightly proud of that kind of hospitality. But these exiles do not have money to buy citizenship (or even dual citizenship), so a part of them has been waiting for these solutions for more than two decades.

Thus, instead of gratitude and attachment to Montenegro, we create an unfavorable mood in them, to put it mildly.

But today, everything comes down to the harsh law of the market economy, which, in its most vulgar form, seeks to extend the duration of the last phase of capitalism. That end is inevitably coming, but history is slow, it is difficult to wait for it. It is especially difficult to wait for those "despised in the world" who do not get up easily. It's even harder to live in contempt.
