Friday, March 4 - For days I have been following this congress of admiration for Strahinja Bulajić on social networks and the defense of the electoral will on the streets, I can't help but be surprised. Did those people even understand what the vice president of the parliament said, what are the consequences of his decision and who will be the winner at the end of the fight for electoral will...
- No, I will not respect the Constitution of Montenegro! I'm not going to follow Article 90, which mandates that "the first regular session of the Assembly begins on the first working day in March" - well, that's the shortest translation of what supporters of the Democratic Front, Democratic Montenegro and some other smaller parties have been admiring for two weeks.
I know, now the legalists - inheritors of Koštunica's eloquence, but also of Milošević's methodology that "we don't have to stick to regulations like a drunkard" - will start with explanations that sitting and session are not synonymous.
They are not, but the Rules of Procedure clearly state in Article 83 that "the Assembly in session works in sessions".
Not all previous heads of parliament were inclined to "follow the rules...", but they generally scheduled the start of the spring and autumn sessions when it was prescribed.
And not only did they pretend to respect the Constitution and the Rules of Procedure at least twice a year, but due to the sudden visit of "grandmother-Marta", the deputies had to prove their loyalty to the democratic procedure on several occasions by driving snow around Cetinje...

- I will not schedule a session because the political conditions have not been met - I believe that Bulajić himself immediately repented of this inappropriate explanation...
And when will those political conditions, whatever he meant by them, be achieved?
Maybe after March 27, while the (several) months of post-election dialogue, after voting in some municipalities, will take place with traditional cries of "better war than pact"?
Or will it be acquired in May, until Putin's Russia, trampling Ukraine, reaches at least one of its four borders with NATO?
In June, there will be no chance to obtain them, because on the first day of that month, the conditions for the President to dissolve the Assembly are met - not politically but constitutionally.
There is no edict that Milo Đukanović will sign with more enthusiasm, after day after day - thanks to the former cargo and the current one the devil - indicates more and more opportunities to return to the international scene...
- Thank you to the Front and the Democrats for deciding to stay on the streets for three whole months. On the day when I gave the mandate to Dritan Abazović, I counted on just such a mind. To their leaders and membership, until the end of my next five-year mandate, I remain especially grateful for their incredible persistence in convincing the European Union and the USA that I am still the only factor of stability in the Balkans - Đukanović's administrators will tweet on the evening of June 1...

It's too long, won't fit in a tweet? Nothing for that, he will personally thank all the defenders of the electoral will in the streets in several hundreds of letters.
He has already - what he would say - received satisfaction for that future effort. In San Marino, where he was awarded the order of the Knight Grand Cross and thus entered on the list of rare heads of state, which includes the names of the Italian king and Montenegrin son-in-law Vittorio Emanuele III, the fierce anti-Nazism fighter Cardinal Pačeli - Pope Pius XII, and the current president of Italy, Sergio Mattarella .
It is possible that the order was planned as a farewell, just like the conversation with Mattarello in the Quirinal the day before or the one with Stoltenberg at the NATO headquarters the day after Russia's attack on Ukraine...
But you never know with those Western stabilocrats, especially not since the defense of the electoral will in Montenegro was extended to the defense of Putin from the whole world...

Saturday, March 5 - For forty and more days, both supporters and opponents of the minority government have been speculating whether the SNP leadership will manage to fend off membership from several municipal committees.
The meeting of the Main Board is awaited just as long as the meeting of the DPS a quarter of a century ago. It's just that then the future of the entire country was at stake, and now the unity of one party can be questioned.
Some past decisions of the SNP in difficult times, especially the one from 1999, when - in favor of peace in Montenegro - that party renounced its own president, really deserve respect.
In addition, I have a dilemma as to how much time the Esenpe staff in the future government will need to make political decisions when they cannot make a party decision in a month and a half...

Sunday, March 6 - The session of the Main Board of the SNP is still pending. Democrats don't wait, they try to act preventively against future traitors.
- What did you expect, colleague Ivanović, for me to come with a congratulatory message? - the voice of Aleksa Bečić echoed before the evening without any need...
First, because there were so many participants in the protest that everyone would have heard him even without a microphone. Second, but much more important, "it is not correct to call an absent man who cannot answer", as Bečić often said when he was the President of the Assembly, and one of the best...
- If they continue on the path they are on, they will commit the biggest political suicide - luckily he didn't say where.
It is true that the chosen deaths are not graded according to size, but according to the method of execution, but it would not be said that even the suicide that the Democrats have been carrying out for an extended period of time since autumn...
God regrets the party that started as the bright future of Montenegro. Because of the vocabulary she uses to defend her electoral will, she managed to lose more than twenty votes in my immediate and extended family alone.

Monday, March 7 - Finally, at 17.55:97 p.m., the long-awaited news: The Main Committee of the SNP voted 32 to XNUMX for the party's entry into the minority government.
- The decision was made in an extremely tolerant atmosphere - said Vladimir Joković.
It's good, I said, but for the party. Much more will be needed for tolerance in the rest of Montenegro.
The first sign of said tolerance would be the withdrawal of the SNP leader from some of the priorities that, even before the formation of the minority government, he had put pressure on the majority of the citizens of Montenegro.
If, as I still believe, Montenegro is more important to him than the party, then the fundamental contract with the SPC, the CPC and any religious community, the population census and the Open Balkans must wait for drastically calmer and more tolerant times...

Tuesday, March 8 - That tolerance is a miracle, there is a wide range of forms that it can take in Montenegro even on the most innocuous occasion.
- Congratulations on the holiday to all women who fight for Freedom, Justice and Equality. With the request that (also) today we send support to all Ukrainian women and wish that this kind of March XNUMX will never happen again - I wrote only these two sentences two days ago on Facebook.
I still haven't recovered from the shock of the tolerant answers - Nazi, Fascist, Ustasha grandmother, paid traitor, sold sweetheart...
That's why I'm staying short for Wednesday and Thursday, sorry, see you next Friday...
If by then some of the radical Russophiles I blocked don't knock on my door...
