Flipping through notes about the most important events of the past seven days, I remembered the anthology scene from "Đekna" when Radosav spells out a letter to the heir... Write to Milijan like this: Son Mišo, I have never seen a bigger fool than you, who works more against himself, until you...
Radosav is no more, Milijana got addicted to the internet in her mature years and has long since stopped using paper and pencil, only her virtual son Mišo is still Živka's brilliant anticipation of today's reality.
"Đekna" is not dying yet, it has to preserve our memories of Montenegro, which had a future in everything, including culture.
That Montenegro remained in the past. The previous government made it the way it is today, and this new one either can't or won't come out of the past centuries. Until the citizens send her a copy of the letter to her son Misha...

The story of Mladen Bojanić and Milojko Spajić in Načisto is in vain. In vain, and the biography of Jakov Milatović, which without a miracle cannot be remembered before the fourth listening... Unfortunately, those three ministers are only the famous exception that confirms the rule.
And the rule followed by the Government last week was - one step forward, three steps back. And really no one can harm her as much as she can harm herself. I am not referring to strategic plans, which we know rarely find flaws.
Public appearances and changes in publicly communicated positions are mostly under the flaw. And especially too often copying the manners of the former government.
That is why the cohabitation with the President from the opposing bloc turned into - imitation. Which differs from the original only by the national sign.
The message that there will be no revanchism seems to be valid only in depth. Nobody even mentioned the height and width... Because of this, there are all chances, the three ministers who deal with the future will remain in the shadow of those who return us to the past for a long time.

It is good that the Minister of Education decided to correct an injustice from the recent past. And as soon as she started work, she showed by her own example how to respect the Constitution, that is, its norm on the equality of the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets in official use.
Cyrillic is also a Montenegrin script, it has always been so. The most valuable Montenegrin works and the most important historical sources were written in her alphabet. Why the former government decided to expel her - has never been clarified.
Therefore, it is not necessary to review the motives that prompted the new government to restore its constitutional status.
There is nothing to complain about the motives of rector Gojko Perović for the Seminary of St. Peter of Cetinje to receive the same status in the educational system as the Madrasah "Mehmed Fatih". It is natural that every church, including the Serbian Orthodox Church, fights for state support for religious education schools.
However, there is also room for objections to the explanation of Minister Vesna Bratić on the integration of the oldest school into the state education system.
- If we bear in mind that more than eighty percent of citizens in Montenegro are believers of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro, it is more than logical that the Cetinje Seminary should be accredited and realize all the legal rights and status that belongs to it, which it did not have until now - she said.

As the minister of sports and entertainment, she might not know how to keep in mind what no one but her has seen.
As the minister of science, and for God's sake, of culture, she is not allowed to express views that have not been confirmed by science, especially not those that are denied by mere statistical reality.
As the minister of education in a secular state, she is forbidden from pushing religion even in principle, let alone in detail. And the claim that more than 80 percent of citizens are believers of the Serbian Church was a finger in the eye for at least two groups.
In the first place for atheists and agnostics, however many there are. Let me not refer to polls that say that the sum of those who believe that God does not exist and those who claim that his existence cannot be proven is at least 40 percent.
For Montenegrins who believe more in historical science than in myths about the past, that statement was not only provocative but also insulting. They did not restore the Montenegrin Orthodox Church only because of the way in which it was abolished, but also because of the attitude of the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral towards them, especially at the end of the last century.
Personnel failures after the death of Bishop Antonio cannot be an alibi for the failed interpretation of historical documents.
Attempts to force Montenegrin believers into the church of another nation are not from yesterday, they are older than centuries. The fact that there are Montenegrins who voluntarily establish their relationship with God through the Serbian Church cannot be an argument for the Minister of Education, or anyone else, to force all believing Montenegrins to accept that church as their own.
With the unproven claim of 80 percent of citizens who believe in the SPC, it also included at least 6,29 percent of members of minority nations and minority religions.

What the Minister of Justice Vladimir Leposavic thinks about this kind of ignoring of human rights - which no government can determine, give or take away from anyone, but must guarantee them to everyone - is not yet known.
Judging by the changes he wants to make in the Law on Freedom of Religion, Montenegrins better hear his opinion on their rights as soon as possible.
Otherwise, on Christmas they will also take to the streets, with the same arguments that the Serbs presented at the same time last year - that this law is discriminatory, that it is passed in the wrong way and in a more than tense atmosphere.

That is why it would be politically wise, and, by God, politically correct for the most numerous people in Montenegro, for Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapić to explain some of the changes before they enter the parliamentary procedure.
First, how do "registered and registered" religious communities differ - essentially and not just formally?
Second, does the deadline for "respecting the historical duration and legal subjectivity of existing religious communities" refer exclusively to one of these three dates: June 17, 1920 and the decree of Regent Alexander, November 6, 1929 and his royal signature under the Law on the SPC and November 16, 1931 and the adoption of the Constitution of the SPC.
Either "respect for the historical duration and legal subjectivity of existing religious communities" must also apply to the Montenegrin Orthodox Church since 1905, when it was included in the Constitution of Prince Nikola, since 1888, when Valtazar Bogišić introduced the CPC into the Code, or the Montenegrins will have to search for evidence. from 1485, when the seat of the metropolitans of Zeta was moved to Cetinje.
Third, how will the "property right through the cadastre" be proven. Some of the most valuable temples were built at a time when Montenegrins had no time to deal with geodesy. And some found themselves within the state borders of Montenegro only after the San Stefano Treaty, the Berlin Congress and the Constituent Assembly of Tito's Yugoslavia...
Not to mention how important the church property was later given by the "learned cartographers of Avnoia" and that everything was done according to the cadastres of the regime that came to power by correcting the mistakes of those "learned cartographers"...

Fourth - although in the end, according to Montenegro, it may be the most risky - why is the Law being changed without a public discussion. And what does the claim that "there are extraordinary and urgent circumstances" mean for his changes...
The Serbian-Montenegrin church dispute has been going on for at least 101 years. Last December, the former government tried to solve it urgently and extraordinary, and after eight months it ended up in the opposition benches.
The fact that the newly enthroned can expect the same consequences, and in a shorter period of time - is only for her to worry about. We will choose a new one soon, we finally made sure that it doesn't hurt anything.
The renewal of lithium, this time with a Montenegrin sign, could be very dangerous.
Because the restoration of the late authority at their head will never be possible again. And without such authority, mass protests on the Street are definitely not possible. Keep calm, of course...
PS It is good news that after the advent of the apostolic government, miracles still happen. The Prime Minister told us from the headquarters of the European Union and NATO that Vlado Georgiev will be able to sing in Montenegro again. And not only that, the state will enable the winner of the highest state award, Matija Bećković, to finally visit his father's birthplace... Continued...
