The Democratic Front, which consists mostly of Serbs, brought terrorists from Serbia to shoot Serbs who wanted to declare the Front's victory in front of the Assembly before the end of the elections.
It would be funny, if it weren't for the poster. The thousand-year-old state of Vojislavljević, Balšić, Crnojević and Petrović almost fell into oblivion. At least that's what the citizens were told in the police-prosecutor announcements, which were broadcast at least 150 times on Sunday. From all radio and TV frequencies, plus portals and more...
And then Milo Đukanović won Montenegro once again in the elections...
And the Tajik was born...
It was the most boring coup in the world. No details have been leaked. As soon as depees declared victory, otherwise logorheic reliable sources fell silent.
No one has any idea where he was and what he was doing during that night...
The president of the country, Filip Vujanović, must have slept through the coup. Prime Minister Milo Đukanović managed to upload to the portal only the day after tomorrow. The war location of the military minister Milica Pejanović-Đurišić is not yet known.
At dawn, everything was clear for the elections. The only problem is that after the dramatic announcements, no one felt like voting.
In fact, it wasn't a problem... It was a goal!
Those strange declarations were made, it seems, at least five days before the arrival of Serbian non-governmental terrorists in Montenegro. Otherwise, the authors would have known that there would be no one in front of the Assembly on Sunday evening...
The DF leader told the membership all last week that there would be no gathering until the last ballot was counted... He even demanded that they wait for his directive even after that...
The fact that neither our Army nor the home country of the 20 arrested was informed of the attack on Montenegro clearly shows that the bombardment of citizens with terrible news has nothing to do with terrorism. But with brutal intimidation of voters who unexpectedly went to vote en masse already before noon.
The effect was visible in the afternoon, on the deserted streets of Podgorica. In which police vans were constantly circling, with the eerie sounds of sirens...

This was a passage from my verdict, written two days after the coup d'état...
I will never forget that October 16, 2016.
I got up late in the afternoon and, in a hurry to vote, in passing I noticed a post on Pink about some kind of terrorists. But who is normal to believe pink...
I left Zabjela on foot for Zagorič, the polling station remained there even after I moved. Not a soul lives anywhere near Peyton, but I'm not surprised.
Montenegrins have always had a lot of work to do when it came to taming the domestic occupier, and even to this day they think that patriotism is exclusively the defense of the country against those from outside...
At the Clock Tower, I see a car next to me, we cross the Bridge of the Zlaticanin brothers at the same pace. When entering Ulica slobode, I start to suspect that he is following me...
The driver in uniform measures me through the open window... Don't worry, I'm talking to myself, no man has ever seen a woman weighing 130 kilos in jeans...
At the Gymnasium, another policewoman joins, both of them move at my speed... I call Mihailo Jovović, I tell him my paranoid thoughts, he laughs. Only later do I realize why, he thought I knew what was going on so I was making fun...
When a third nurse joined in at the dry cleaners and continued to follow these two at the same slow pace, I started acting up. Jovo, don't laugh at me, if I don't answer for ura, call Rodić to look for me, you know I'm not scary, but this is not normal...
Still convinced that I'm joking, Jovo says that I must call him every hundred meters because he's busy in Vijesti anyway...
I don't register the irony, I repeat that I haven't met a live calf since Kodra. I keep it on the line, I arrive on the other side of the Vizier bridge and I see a miracle...
Oh my gosh, it's a mass of maricaaa... I didn't even have time to express myself honestly, when the movie starts for him:
- Where do you live, twenty people were arrested, they are brought for questioning and sent back to Spož, all day portals spin the story of a coup d'état - I raised the pressure on him so much that he forgot how I still use the stupid "Nokia" and write on the pre-war "Olympics" "...
I did my civic duty, returned home and in a day and a half wrote one of the best texts of my life...
I don't mean quality, I also remember better days. But the courage to take a risk, without any reliable data...

Fifty-two months later, after deliberations that lasted almost half a year, my verdict was confirmed by the Court of Appeal. I read the announcement several times and my heart is kind of full.
Is this realistic, neither guilt nor a criminal offense has been proven. There is no evidence that any key evidence existed at all.
In the subsequent explanation of the Appellate Court, the most frequently mentioned words are - wrong, there is no evidence and it cannot.
- Conclusions were drawn completely wrongly in relation to the evidence that was presented during the trial.
- The court's conclusions that Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević organized an alleged criminal group to overthrow the government in 2016 are wrong.
- It was wrongly concluded that Mandić and Knežević called for any gatherings in their speeches at the rally before the elections.
- It is wrong that the High Court dealt with the interpretation of spoken words and sentences.
- It is wrong to link Knežević's speech with the goal of organizing a protest.
- There is no evidence that confirms that Mandić and Knežević can be suspicious because they traveled to Russia.
- There is no evidence that the witness Mirko Velimirović acquired weapons at the request of the associate witness Saša Sinđelić.
- There is no evidence that weapons were bought and thrown into the lake.
- Photographs of weapons that were presented at the trial cannot be evidence, because they are weapons of the Police Department that were taken on the reverse side to be photographed, and not weapons that were used to prepare the alleged violence.
- The witness Mirko Velimirović cannot be an authorized person for the execution of secret surveillance measures because he was not an authorized police officer, nor was he an undercover collaborator...

Ignorance or corruption is a question that will soon be addressed by some other prosecutors and some other judicial panel.
And it won't take them a year and a half to answer, it's enough for them to set themselves only one additional question:
Could the three goals of the former regime - victory in the elections, accelerated entry into NATO and pacification of the DF - be achieved through ignorance...
Those who wanted and were able to hear and read, received an answer already on election day, in the first prosecutor's statement.
Is it possible that half of Montenegro then believed that Serbs from Serbia came to kill Montenegrin Serbs who were celebrating their victory in the elections? And that on that very night, for the first time in a quarter of a century, Milo Đukanović decided to take a tour of the parish on foot?
Yes, because Montenegro still refuses to face the nineties. Then two thirds of it wanted to swear on the life of Saint Peter that Slavko Perović was leading five thousand Montenegrins to slaughter Serbs in Croatia...

It's a miracle that war school "admit, grandma, that you're an Ustasha"... It's only important to come up with an indictment, it doesn't have to be meaningful...
In vain, all the convicts claimed that they did not know the organizers of the coup from Russia and the contractors from Serbia.
It didn't help either that the prosecution didn't know their names, one was first called Shirokov and then Šishmakov, and the other Aleksandar and then Saša...
Nor could the verdict be different in a country where only two free institutions of the system functioned for almost three years - retired police officer Mirko and convicted murderer Saša. I almost missed the name and wrote Slavko...
The first managed to get from Podgorica to Smederevo in half a day, take the money, climb the Kosovo mountain, buy a quarter of a ton of weapons, disassemble them and - "throwing them into a lake" - return to Montenegro.
The second is a smuggler at the flea market, and his best friend is the first accused, Edi. A billionaire who deals in diamonds and oil. Whenever he has time - he helps his friend Sasha. Only once did he not do it, Saša got very angry and - decided to leak everything in the BIA.
On the same day, quite by chance, Mirko made himself available to our Special Prosecutor's Office because of - the Battle of Mojkovac.
The password for communication was: "Uncle sent you brandy"...

In September 2017, the scandalous trial of the century began and was broadcast live for a year and a half.
Collaborative witness Saša Sinđelić returned to Serbia and denied everything he said at the trial. Despite that, he came to Montenegro again and was extradited to Croatia.
Mirko Velimirović, due to his merits "for preventing the massacre in Montenegro, the largest since the Second World War", fared much better, although he also renounced his testimony. He received two months probation for preparing the murder of the prime minister, plus two more for forcibly entering the Parliament, and even more for the organized slaughter of citizens on the street...
Thirteen defendants were sentenced to almost 70 years in prison. The Court of Appeal overturned that verdict, but everyone will have to go back to the courtroom.
Prosecutors Milivoje Katnić and Saša Čađenović and judges Suzana Mugoša, Vesna Pean and Dragica Vuković - for now - will not...
What about us?... We still live in a battered country. Changing the government for nothing until we change - ourselves...
PS You won't believe it, last week another court, this time the Constitutional Court, confirmed my verdict from three years ago. Milan Knežević was illegally convicted for an incident in the Parliament... If they continue at this pace, there is every chance that soon I will have more confirmed verdicts than Milivoje Katnić's indictment.
