Dear viewers, today is Thursday, February 18, and this is the news of the day:
- His Excellency the Ambassador of Montenegro to the Holy See and the Sovereign Order of Knights of Malta, Miodrag Vlahović, replaced the lock on the Embassy door. The Chargé d'Affaires cannot enter, the officers are not in the building, and His Excellency's exact location has not yet been determined...
- His Excellency, the Ambassador of Montenegro to China, Darko Pajović, did not change the lock, but he did take the stamp and payment card with him.
The Embassy car has since been returned, the search for His Excellency is ongoing...
- Her Excellency the vaccine of the Russian Federation under the Republic of Serbia, Sputnik V, has arrived in Montenegro. Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić arrived accompanied by the vaccine, despite Alexander V's decree that she must not set foot in Podgorica unless His Excellency Vladimir Božović, who had been expelled, met her there...
- His Holiness the Patriarch of Serbia will be elected at today's Assembly of the Serbian Orthodox Church, which is unique and historic because it is held for the first time in the Church of Saint Sava. Metropolitan Chrysostom expressed the hope that the Lord will answer prayers for the Assembly to be happy and blessed and to be an expression of the unity and unity of the church.
***
Amen, the Lord will fulfill the Metropolitan's hope this afternoon, but he certainly won't fulfill my hope from August 31.
And it wasn't too big, on that unique and historic day I only hoped that - the new government would in no way resemble the previous one...
It's only been half a year and she doesn't look like her, but is increasingly becoming a copy of her former self in that everything she touches turns into - lacrdia.
I've gone through so much that I don't know where to start... From the scandal with the seizure of the Embassy in the Vatican, the theft of the seal and card in Beijing or the humiliation called the reception of the vaccine...
I have no one to ask, I only know one person from the government, but I can no longer reach her, and I am very interested in the answers to two questions.
First, in mid-December, did anyone in the Government think that the epilogue of recalling seven ambassadors could be just like this, when it was known that at least two of them would not return without a bang.
Second, did they already then devise an exit strategy from the diplomatic quagmire with calling for consultations by all ambassadors and a one-way ticket.
If the answer to both questions is negative, then there is no longer a place in the government, first of all, for - the prime minister. Even if what was written in the media is not true - that he is the creator of this conspiracy - the reason for his impeachment is objective responsibility. Which he took over himself with a repeated public promise that no one would be fired because of belonging to the Depees, but only because of bad work.
If all that was bad enough to pay a fine for hate speech and two or three words against the European commissioner, then it was not necessary - as the prime minister would say - to "slaughter an ox for a pound of meat" and risk the reputation of the Montenegrin diplomatic network.
That careless running out too quickly became a chronic disease of the entire Government. Striking exceptions, such as ministers Mladen Bojanić and Aleksandar Stijović, make the lightly promised speed of their boss Zdravko Krivokapić even more striking.
***
I don't have any evidence, but the pictures and words from the Podgorica airport on Wednesday evening raise doubts that his role was not secondary even in the lakrdia, which the media, just as lakrdia, called - the welcome of vaccines.
It was clear the night before, after Andrija Mandić's tweet and Kairon, which was not removed from Pink's channels until after midnight:
- I just had a conversation with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić. He sent a letter to Prime Minister Ana Brnabić requesting that the Government of Serbia, within 24 hours, send Montenegro the first contingent of vaccines...
Although he did not clarify whether he himself had any credit for that letter, numerous Serbian portals did announce that the vaccines are arriving thanks to leader Andrija Mandić.
That this is not true and that the delivery is the result of negotiations between the two governments, the Montenegrin Minister of Health said immediately after that announcement:
- After several of my conversations with my respected colleague doctor (Zlatibor) Lončar, as well as the Vice President of the Government Abazović with the Prime Minister Ana Brnabić, the first vaccines will be given tomorrow at the Podgorica airport...
This time, the Deputy Prime Minister also tried to dig deeper:
- I can confirm that the vaccines will arrive in Montenegro tomorrow around 18.30:XNUMX p.m. The Prime Minister of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, will hand over the donation to the Prime Minister of Montenegro, Zdravko Krivokapić - Dritan Abazović was modest, avoiding mention of his merits.
The demands of his constituents, however, will soon not be so modest. Six months of humanitarian ironing out other people's mistakes is too much even for the vice-prime minister of the apostolic government.
If he answers the questions about who is to blame for the personnel slalom around the director of the Police Directorate, the chief negotiator with the European Union or the chief special state prosecutor and they can wait a few more weeks, the tragicomedy with vaccines cannot.
If for no other reason, at least because of that sad picture and even sadder story at the Podgorica airport...
***
- I brought two thousand vaccines tonight and we will meet again soon to bring these other doses for the revaccination, either you come to Belgrade or we send them... - the Prime Minister of Serbia expressed a high degree of sympathy with the citizens of Montenegro.
And then, as if she wouldn't, she showed that it was a begged donation.
- I want to express my gratitude to Vice President Dritan Abazović, with whom I was in daily contact and who also personally pushed for these vaccines to arrive as soon as possible. I also want to express my gratitude to Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević and Miroslav Brajović and all those people who wrote daily to President Aleksandar Vučić... And the message from President Vučić and me is that, if necessary, there will be more vaccines...
Thank you, it won't be necessary, we humiliated ourselves enough even for these two thousand - I was waiting in vain for our prime minister to say...
- I express my gratitude to the state of Serbia and to you personally for bringing us the most precious gift, which are vaccines that should protect the population of Montenegro. I will ask you to convey your gratitude to the citizens of Serbia...
He certainly expected Aleksandar Vučić to mention him at least at the end of the thank-you note, despite the fact that he is playing in the match in Nikšić - against the Government's team...
***
I only hope that the readers don't expect an answer to the question of where we got Nikšić from now. I guess it's clear to everyone that vaccines, on the eve of the crucial performance in Onogošte, can only get an episodic role from the directors on both sides.
If Aleksandar Vučić cared about our health, he would not send two but at least twenty thousand doses. That is only one per thousand of the twenty million that, by his own admission, he personally acquired from November to February - first one million eight hundred, then two, then eleven million, then another six...
If Andrija Mandić didn't have an election, he wouldn't have mentioned himself on Twitter, then Vučić, and only then vaccines.
If Ani Brnabić was close to the citizens of Montenegro, she would not have despised their representatives and returned to Belgrade from the airport. But - like other prime ministers in the last 75 years - she would continue with a colleague to Gorica or Karađorđeva Street...
If it were up to Zdravko Krivokapić to establish equal relations with Serbia, he would not admire the donation of vaccines "which is not the first in history" before he receives an apology from Aleksandar Vučić for a much more dangerous abuse of Montenegrin history than the one for which the Serbian ambassador was expelled...

There's still a lot to be done... But, unfortunately, it's not, it's just a matter of winning in Nikšić.
Because the master cannot survive - politically, of course - the loss of his hometown. Nor can the ruling coalition survive if it loses the local advantage gained in the parliamentary elections.
That's why Jevto Eraković, who lost his own job thanks to himself, now triumphantly clicks above the master's picture:
"And it could have been 10.000+2.000. Everything is clear to the well-intentioned..."
And everything is clear, above all the evil intention of the former government, which shows all its morbidity.
I am not only referring to its original development philosophy of milking its neighbors - and three decades ago it was Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. But to the fact that after August 31, she knowingly endangered the health of the local population, waging war against the parties that defeated her in the elections.
- The vaccine against the corona virus could have been in use in Montenegro as early as January 24 - said President Milo Đukanović.
Perhaps I would believe that he did not wait for the Nikšić campaign to announce it. From that January 24 until the other day, we only had two pieces of information - that his friend Petros Statis offered a donation to a print media and that vaccination is not allowed according to newspapers.
It is also possible that the President already officially informed the Government about the offered donation on January 21, but I do not believe that it is possible that no one informed him about the procedure for importing vaccines after that. That job is not going well like sending the twenty million euros that have been waiting in Žabljak since 2019.
If vaccines could be bought like any other commodity, even the richest businessman in the world would think of it.
Canada is not doing the best with anti-covid doses either, if it was possible according to the regulations - even Elon Musk would send a million to his in-laws...
PS Where, if it were possible to bypass the regulations, the chief special prosecutor would have sent Marija Radulović, Siniša Gazivoda and Goran Rodić, I will never know. I only know that on this occasion, I made a good forecast - I will have more confirmed verdicts from the columns than Milivoje Katnić's indictment before the court. Earlier it was ruled that my friends are not organized criminals, now it has been proven that they are not fraudsters in the attempt. I can't rejoice after they and their families were destroyed for four years. Two trials are too few for a crime like this - organized spreading of naked lies...
