At the end of 2003, Branimir Gvozdenović organized a private party in the "Grand" cafe on the occasion of the announced election for Prime Minister. "Chivas" was receiving.

I remember quite well how a former, dear colleague - who did not hide how much he cared about his buttocks even with the way he ate - commented from his own perspective on the willingness of politicians to withdraw, to deprive them of social status and comfort, on the fears of ambitious associates. ..

"What kind of black Brano? Milo gives it to someone. Milo will be prime minister".

That quickly proved to be true.

Duško Marković seems to be throwing a party these days. On a similar occasion, in different circumstances.

At the Main Board of the DPS, Marković practically secured a new prime minister's mandate by re-electing him as deputy president of that party, which was questioned for a while, especially since the opposition is trying with all its might to lose the elections.

And not only that. Marković will be the only prime minister in the era of Milo Đukanović, who will now certainly hold the position for the entire term.

Filip Vujanović's government was overthrown twice, the first time by the People's Party, the second time by the Liberal Alliance, Željko Šturanović retired early due to illness, while Igor Lukšić barely served half of the mandate he inherited from Đukanović.

Now back to the party.

Unlike Gvozdenović's, Marković's party is not private. It's very public. Every kind of Montenegro enjoys it.

The waiters are Neno Vujošević, Zoran Bošković and Vladan Juretić.

Unprovoked and uninvited, the president of the Association of Judges, Hasnija Simonović, quotes the words of the President of Montenegro about the merits of the Montenegrin judiciary, forgetting that citizens who did not vote for the president of the DPS should also trust the judiciary.

Milan Roćen, unfortunately, did not come this time. He gave way to the younger ones.

Minister of Sustainable Development Pavle Radulović has just thrown the bidermeier to acting Ivica Stanković, resigning practically because of the same issue that Stanković is struggling with - he had distant associates who were corrupt. Farther than Vujošević was to Stanković.

Although Marković is the host, it seems to me that the loudest person at the party is Justice Minister Zoran Pažin.

He loudly sings about the unacceptably low trust in the work of the prosecution and skips the stanzas about his own responsibility because we have an informal balance clause with the EU due to insufficient progress in chapters 23 and 24, which are exactly his jurisdiction.

Pažin and Marković did not call for responsibility when the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (ASK) led by Sreten Radonjić, and their parliamentary colleagues led by Ljubo Škrelja and Marta Šćepanović, carried out political executions of representatives of the civil sector in the councils of ASK, RTCG and AEM . That later the party Council RTCG illegally removed the management of the Public Service, a television station that now enjoys probably less public trust than the prosecution.

And it is precisely the party ASK and the party's enslavement of the RTCG in this FAZP integration that are a greater or even equal reason for the defeating policy of EU integration than Stanković himself and the prosecution.

Now the mother party is thanking Stanković.

So that the host at the party, Marković, in an appropriate address, acknowledges the inefficiency and inaction in the institution he leads, through the example of corruption in construction where the police did their part when it comes to two building inspectors.

Stanković was doing what the DPS expected of him - and that was nothing.

That is, as long as the affairs of "Limenka", "Telekom", "Customs", "Envelope" are not adequately processed...

And Katnić can take courage and teach Pažin what he should say. Maybe he should think about whether he is the next target after Stanković before the end of his mandate in the middle of next year.

Stanković and Katnić have become scapegoats who should be declared the only culprits for Montenegro's failure in negotiations with the EU so that everyone else can be absolved. They have simultaneously become DPS tokens to play with the opposition over an agreement to hold fair elections, or they are tokens in play within DPS.

The only dilemma here is whether the goal of Marković's party is to take over the prosecutor's office and appoint its staff, as the only institution that it does not control and in which it has no influence, or whether it is the contractor Đukanović who, in parallel, with unforced statements, anesthetizes Stanković, Katnić and the other prosecutors, or them maybe they have the courage to oppose Marković more strongly.

It remains for us to enjoy Duška's party.

Which, let's not forget, the other Duško started with VDT, with recordings from London.

It is not about the awareness and responsibility towards society of either the Prime Minister or the Minister of Justice, who does not refer to, according to available research, the public's low trust in the judiciary, whose head counts three mandates as two, who advises the courts not to interfere in the decisions of the Assembly, which sells land to an offshore company of a controversial businessman, hiding it from the public...

I don't know about you, but I'm planning to invite that former colleague to burek, it's been a long time since we said goodbye.

Let's see if he can now reach how much the buttocks and appetites of the political-judicial elite have grown compared to a decade and a half ago.
