On the night after the Congress, while exaltedly celebrating the DPS staying on the wrong course, the newly elected vice-president of the party Ivan Vuković sent a message that he would soon return Montenegro to the right course: "And now to work, to defend Nikšić and return Montenegro to the right course". And again nothing. Second time in the last half year!
The fear of Montenegro's return to the "true course" that divided the country, made dialogue meaningless, burned finances, depleted resources, and distanced it from Europe, motivated the voters in Nikšić to come out and repeat their determination expressed on August 30 last year. Nikšić, the hometown of the lifetime president of the DPS and the hometown of the progenitor of the Montenegrin underground, once again sent a message to the DPS that there is nothing to do from returning to the right course, which is actually wrong (but the Boss cannot see that). If the former eternal losers in Nikšić left DPS "in the minority" in just half a year, triumphing with a margin of over 10 percent, then the encouragement of the rosy spokesman Nikolić with the defended rating of the party, with the announcement of the fight that is just beginning with these results! Because if the DPS lost in its strongest stronghold and with the involvement of complete resources, which in some elections two or three years ago would have brought him a two-thirds victory and not just a majority, then only the decrepit leader and his puppet spokesperson can see victory in the election results and the announcement of a return "to the right course".
However, DPS showed with the result in Nikšić that it has considerable strength to keep Montenegro on the wrong course. The formation of a list on which the PKS entered under the motto of anti-fascism, where songs were sung to the collaborator Popović when the list was handed over, or where in the final of the campaign the leader of the DPS, from the position of the state president, branded traitors "from Andrija Radović to Andrija Mandić", all these as well as numerous other details, above all their sad propaganda, say that the desire of the DPS is to stay on the wrong course, and therefore to keep the significant potential of society on that wrong track. The continuation of the policy that after three decades removed the DPS from the throne, logically, cannot return this party to power, no matter how hard its first man and young comrades try to convince us that they are on the right course.
And now to work, to defend Montenegro and to return it to the right course - if there is really someone in the DPS who honestly and soberly thinks about this topic, then he would see the only right way to break with the policy that called into question the Montenegrin anti-fascism, divided the Orthodox part of the population by treating one half of it as traitors and reducing dialogue in society to measuring through the crosshairs.
And now to work, to defend Montenegro and to return it to the right course - if there is someone in the DPS who honestly and soberly thinks about this topic, then they should first ask themselves who is responsible for the policy that was introduced 10 years ago in "our world" of Aleksandar Vučić as the greatest friend of Montenegro, making almost the entire media space available to him through his people, spin doctors, publishers, tycoons, so that post festum, only in the middle of last year, the same DPS started to explain to us how we are exposed propaganda torture of Belgrade and interference in our internal affairs. That process started back in 2012 when the SNS came to power, but the DPS did not feel the consequences because the club hit the backs of critics of the regime and the opposition.
The great Serbian leader Vučić was just waiting for the moment when the conditions would be met for Pink, Prva, Kurir, Informer and the rest of the organized propaganda group to return to factory settings. And to switch them from the brutal campaign for DPS and Milo to no less supporting Milo's "bloodsuckers". It was even easier for Alexander of (Greater) Serbia to replace the partnership with Đukanović with an economic relationship with puppets from the DF. Just as he kept Milo in power with a controversial "coup" in 2016, he pushed him from the throne in August 2020, using the power of lithium and citizens' frustration with all kinds of injustice and inequality.
However, everything that happened after the August elections pushed the Serbian leader into ever-increasing crime, which is not related to any tender, marijuana plantation, even less assassination, but to the simple fact that in international law is called - interference in the internal affairs of another of the state. Vučić, like any autocrat, is selfish and ambitious. I already wrote after he was sent away from Podgorica without a final greeting to his "friend" Amfilohi - he never forgets and never gives up. And the very next day he set out to conquer Montenegro, applying the recipe from Kosovo and Republika Srpska. To begin with, he found puppets like Rakić from Mitrovica, Dodik or Stanivuković from Banja Luka. Then he ordered the propaganda club to replace the multi-year promotion of the Montenegrin Orthodox Church, NATO, the West and EU integration, in which Đukanović's outposts Pink, Prva, and Informer took the lead, with the values of the "Serbian world", so overnight the aforementioned platforms began to point to the various specters of nationalist and ultra-right Belgrade that we thought had been swallowed up by the darkness of the 90s. On top of all that, for the needs of the Nikšić elections, AV injected a financial injection into the logistical injection that has been bringing him absolute victories everywhere for ten years, not only with a majority, but also with a two-thirds majority. In addition to all that, he was helped by the ineffectiveness of the new Krivokapić Government, from which he pulled DF puppets, as well as the election of a new patriarch, where his personal favorite was promoted and the opposition current in the Synod was beaten to its knees. That's how Joanikije also fell, which blunted his "independence" stance on the necessary autonomy of the SPC in relation to the political leadership of Serbia. Hence, it was not difficult for him, after all the insults and humiliations in the campaign for the NK elections, to accept the crazed Medojević at the table, which he later tried to cancel by meeting with Krivokapić and Bečić. Even more strange was Joaniki's denial of the founder of Daka, as he, like Davidović, embarked on elucidating the assassination based on assumptions and subjective feeling rather than serious and clear evidence. The impression remained that it was forced and not a willful move by a bishop who hopes to be elected as a future metropolitan.
The meticulous and dedicated Vučić arranged everything so that his ZBNK list triumphed on March 14, but it still did not happen. Instead of the absolute victory and triumph that was announced several times in the campaign by its paper leader Andrija Mandić or the projected 30 percent of the AV itself, which would make a difference of at least 10 percent compared to Bečić's list, which was timidly supported by the prime minister - a debacle happened. Which was best seen in Mandić's premature and forced address on election night, in which he loudly declared the supposed victory and turned off the lights.
And it turned out - Milo lost power, and Vučić lost the elections. Patriarch Porfirije did not help either, who received the president's puppets the day before the silence without any provocation, thus showing that he will be no less at the service of the head of state than his predecessor Irinej. This defeat comes at a bad time for Vučić, because the Belgrade, national and presidential elections in Serbia are coming next year, so AV did not have to run with Nikšić and drink a knockout that his opponents in Belgrade will now be able to exploit for their own goals. Vučić lost a lot with Nikšić because in the eyes of the international community he proved to be a disruptive factor, the Nikšić episode put the nail in the coffin of his "mini Schengen" project, so it is hard to believe that the Montenegrin government, after this experience, will perceive that project as benevolent and not imperial. But that's all Vučić's problem, let's let him deal with it.
Where is Montenegro after Nikšić?! What would mayor Ivo say, on the right course but not in the best condition. The government is still rolling in the streets. The government is not in power yet, and the DPS is still not giving up. From the wrong course. The battle for Nikšić was over and Montenegro survived. Such a conclusion also implies the following - DF has no legitimacy to win the mayor because over 80 percent of citizens voted that Nikšić is not Zubin Potok and that the first man of the city cannot come from a list that was a branch of the neighboring state. Even if only the numbers are counted - the list of MNN, Ura and Daka have 12 seats, one more than Vučić's. All actors in the story surrounding the formation of the new government must be aware of this, especially Bečić and Krivokapić.
Second, if the prime minister wants to stay in politics for more than a year, he should finally come out of the illegality and form a party. If he missed the best chance for such an imminent move in September, now is the last, not the right moment. Before the elections in Herceg Novi.
And thirdly, the Government learned a lot, in the next 100 days all segments of the government must act much more efficiently, quickly and energetically in order to use the support of the EU and the USA. But also the mood of the majority of the citizens of Montenegro who, despite everything, still keep their fingers crossed for this Government and give their support to show that it is a serious alternative to the three-decade-unchanged DPS. The sooner Krivokapić and his cabinet demonstrate competence and strength, the sooner Đukanović and Vučić's bad intentions will fall into the water.
