The sun from Kosovo warmed the flat fields
The holy shrines from ancient times shone and you
The Serbian people rejoice because of freedom
And because of the famous Nemanjić Obilić Petrović
And because of the famous Gračanica Studenica Ravanica
Let the Serbian flag fly from Prizren to Rumija
Bells rang out from old Decani
This is the land of Lazar and Stefan and you...
(refrain)
Here are the graves of famous ancestors
Who defended the holy faith from the Turks and you...
(refrain)

Easter has passed, but I am still angry - is it possible that someone is throwing stones at a bus full of children because of this song. Okay, I don't like it either, it's more like a political pamphlet than poetry, closer to junk than art. But it is no worse than the other turbo-patriotic ones in which white doves, swallows, dense fog, red peonies, golden barley and other cereals are sung, in which there is no shortage of Montenegrin songs of the same name...
Okay, it is also disputed in terms of the factual description, Montenegro is not the land of Lazar and Stefan, nor did it have anything to do with the Serbian-Turkish confrontation in Kosovo. Which, according to the current calendar, did not take place on June 28 but on June 13, in which Murat did not participate as a sultan but as an emir, and Miloš Obilić was nameless until the sixteenth century and without a surname even until the eighteenth...
And what are we going to do with it now?...
Nothing, that the Montenegrin society was not severely affected by the division and that Montenegrinism and Serbia did not turn into - diagnoses.
* * *
To start recovery, it would be useful for Montenegrins to finally take note of:
That since 1992, Montenegro has not been a state of the Montenegrin people and other peoples and nationalities that live there.
That the Montenegrin people in Montenegro are no longer the majority, but only the most numerous.
If only the Montenegrins had decided that way.
That one-third of Montenegrins from the former two-thirds majority was not forced by anyone to renounce their national identity.
That one third of Montenegrins did not disappear through ethnic cleansing, but renamed themselves on the censuses of their own free will.
The fact that - unlike national and religious - ethnic/national identity should not be changeable because kinship, brotherhood, tribe and people are first of all biological and only then social categories, does not mean that this change is prohibited.
And everything that is not forbidden, at least that's what the lawyers say, is allowed.

The song "Veseli se srpski rode", written by Danica and Ivan Crnogorčević, premiered on June 28, 2019 in the capital of Montenegro.
Since it is not banned until April 25, 2022, no one has the right to prevent its performance in any other city, not even in the capital.
So much for the law.
As for the state of consciousness, it is all together - a social pathology. Including forcing religion and politics into children who don't even have the right to vote before coming of age.
If children are only allowed after the age of eighteen to choose relatively simple councilors and deputies to whom they give their trust, then only at that age should they be allowed to make a much more complicated choice of the god they will believe in and the religion they will profess.
It goes without saying, of course, that neither choice nor the other is an obligation, but only a right, voting or religious - whatever...

The boycott of Government elections is for socio-psychological and not legal-political analysis.
Democrats ran first. Three days earlier, they announced that, due to a one-time violation of the electoral will by electing the President of the Assembly and the Government, they will not attend the first session of the first regular session of the Montenegrin Parliament.
All other sessions - where this "violation of the electoral will" will take place for an extended period of time - will they?!
- The government will be illegal, illegitimate and usurping, we will consider its proposals illegal and illegitimate - the Democrats were clear.
However, it is not clear whether this also means that they will not respect any law that the Assembly adopts on the proposal of the Government. For example, the law on confiscation of illegally acquired property or the law on inventory.
When the boycott ends, will only the decisions of the first session of the parliament be illegal and illegitimate, but the second, third and all the others - they won't...

As for the "cocktail of treachery, fraud and conspiracy that will overwhelm" the MPs, I am running for a few answers.
First, the cocktail cannot sit down - which would mean that it has changed the means of transport - but only sit down, i.e. get bored, end badly, etc...
Second, parties can only betray their membership and voters by their decisions - unless they relate to armed rebellion. Each of these who enter the Government, or just support it, received prior approval of their membership through representatives in the party bodies.
Thirdly, none of the parties entering the Government broke their promise that DPS would not return to power. For the executive, of course, they could not even make promises for the legislative, because the DPS has been in the parliament by the will of its voters for more than three decades.
As for conspiracies, not that the Government was not formed illegally and behind the public's back, but I do not remember that the public knew so many details about one before its formation.
The parties in the minority government had more statements, interviews, announcements, explanations and press conferences in thirty days than all the parties of all the former majority governments combined in the past thirty years.
Until the Government is elected - it's Thursday, 19:20h - and Dritan Abazović delivers his speech and makes all sessions public, we won't know what happened to us from so much transparency...
* * *
Transparently, following the example of the Democrats, the Democratic Front also slipped on the boycott. The first session of the Assembly is not attended by its deputies either, because they also believe that it was convened in an illegal and illegitimate manner.
They want to, but they did not explain to the other plenums how these plenums will be legal and legitimate when they will be called by President Danijela Đurović, who was elected in the very first one, called "in an illegal and illegitimate way"...
- The Parliamentary Club will only vote for things that we judge to be important for our voters. We did that even when the DPS was in full force - the DF tried to prepare those who support the boycott in time to swallow a big frog between the two sessions.
That's right, that's exactly what they did, that's why the DPS remained in full force in the second decade of the 21st century. With a tendency to be in the third return, if God supports the tendencies of the DF to continue fighting exclusively for the interests of its voters.
Is it in the interest of those voters that the Front, after the biggest contribution to the removal of the former regime two years ago, becomes the strongest opposition coalition again - I am not authorized to judge.
But yes, despite all the ills on the political scene, no one has yet gone crazy enough to accept into the government representatives of a coalition that publicly admits that it will not "vote for things" that are in the interest of the remaining four-fifths of Montenegro - well, I don't need a certificate for that.
* * *
The Front should not have seen itself like that before the boycott of the first assembly of deputies.
I quote: "There is another reason why we will not officially go to Cetinje and who knows when we will, and that is because of the stoning of children"...
And more: "We will ask that the decision to subsidize Cetinje from the state budget be reconsidered"...
Is this realistic, that the parties that have been fighting for decades against the stigmatization of all Serbs due to war crimes committed by some members of that nation are now demanding the punishment of all Cetinje citizens for the wrongdoings committed by some individuals...
And then, not to be outdone: "Cetinje is not the capital in honor of the bandits from 1980 and drug dealers from 1990 and 2000, but because of Petrović and their relationship with Obilić and Kosovo".
There is more, but I won't...
I leave the continuation to the people of Cetinje...
P.S. That literacy in the majority of Montenegrin media, state bodies and political parties is getting closer to illiteracy on social networks was also shown on the occasion of the scandal in Cetinje. Throwing stones at the bus was called stoning by almost everyone, even though stoning is a way of carrying out the death penalty. There is no other meaning, if the dictionaries of the four-name language do not lie...
