Friday, October 7 - Just today I watched yesterday's summit of horns in a bag, God killed me if I understand how this Montenegro is still intact.
Okay, come on, so I don't get too dark, the first question is - how does the Government still function in this composition. Not because of too strong words, but because of their consequences for the future of the country and all of us in it.
When in a normal country the prime minister says that "the minister of foreign affairs is instructing the diplomatic network to work against the interests of the government and the state", then that minister is not only dismissed but also referred to the supreme prosecutor on suspicion of high treason.
And when the head of diplomacy of that normal country retorts that "the prime minister has trampled on civilian Montenegro", that he is "the leader of nationalism, and that of the most dangerous nationalism in this country and in this region" - then he himself leaves the government, otherwise he remains an accomplice in trampling on the state which is allegedly defended by a comrade in the spread of that "most dangerous nationalism".
Unfortunately, this is Montenegro and that's why the two of them stayed in the same room until the end of the session. And it will remain, to even greater regret, at least until October 23.
And after? Well, the answer to that question will soon be given to them and to us - the report of the European Commission and the results of the local elections.
Because of those elections, the Minister of Foreign Affairs also appeared at this session of the Government exclusively as the leader of the SDP. And not an honorary one, but a real one, judging by the self-confidence with which he announced the negative evaluations from Brussels.
What if his expectations are not met? If the European commissioners do not judge that the country is "falling behind in negotiations", that "the negotiation system is broken and people are dispersed", that "there is persecution on a national basis"... Or that the signing of the fundamental agreement did not "stop Montenegro's European path".. .
Pity the members of that party, I don't believe that any president of the local SDP committee would insult the local committee of the opposing party like this, let alone the Government in which he sits.
I also regret the membership of Ura, but for drastically opposite reasons. That party will have to pay the price of some unpopular decisions of its leader in the local elections, despite the belief that he did not make those decisions based on the party's interest but on the state's interest.
And the basic contract, was it also in the state's interest?
I don't know, I was convinced that it wasn't until I listened to Ranko Krivokapić's statement again:
- I was vehemently against the timing, not against the decision to sign the basic contract. The only thing I asked for was to leave it for November, to get the final benchmarks, to move towards the European Union. And then sign the contract, if it is valid - it will last, if it is not valid - it will fall.
That's exactly what he said... not "historical fraud", not "a null act approved in Belgrade, which strikes at the constitutional foundations of Montenegro", not "a means of stopping Montenegro on its way to the EU", not "a gift of Montenegrin history to the Church of Serbia, which calling us bastards and a made-up nation"...
After so much raising of tensions, it turned out in the end that the problem was only the timing and the guests.
Yes, the contract should have been signed, but - three months later.
And to the ceremonial signing of the contract with the Serbian Church, invite not only "30 priests and four from the Government" but also representatives of Montenegrins...

Saturday, October 8 - The president of the country, also in his capacity as the leader of the DPS, thoroughly dealt with pre-election whitewashing of his own past. But drastically wiser, he did not paint himself from yesterday but from the wartime, targeting the voices of those who could not witness his early works...
- Whenever Montenegro found itself in a critically important situation, it always made the right decision - the grandmaster of manipulating the historical nineties returned at the end of the campaign for another historic election.
And so full of himself as if he really believed in what he was saying.
- She made the right decision in the early XNUMXs, when she did not allow the war here - began Đukanović, counting on the Montenegrins' tendency towards a collective aMNEsia.
In vain, all those decisions were not only irregular but also criminal.
The most tragic consequences of those decisions cannot be hidden even in another thirty years. Because ethnic cleansing and genocide are the two most serious forms of war crimes since the Hitler era.
The political goal of Momir Bulatović, Milo Đukanović and Svetozar Marović was not forgotten either - the joining of Montenegro to greater Serbia, which is in vain camouflaged by the name FRY.
The same as in 1918, only with many more victims, and throughout SFRY.
The decision for Montenegro to embark on an occupation, demolition and robbery campaign against two neighboring countries - Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina - was made in Titograd. With the full awareness of the leadership and members of the most numerous party - DPS, then the Government, and finally the Assembly.
The decision to camouflage guilt for war crimes by forming a new state was made by referendum in Montenegro.
Apart from liberals, monitors and esdepe people, the most numerous party of Montenegrin Serbs - the People's Party - was against the entry of Montenegro into that great Serbia.
Unfortunately, the DPS was stronger and managed to organize a group rounding up of the tragic DA on windshields, on the streets, at cafe tables, in apartments, offices...
Always with Serbia, never under Serbia - that was the slogan of the People's Party in 1991 and 1992, but Milo Đukanović then considered it correct to be a bigger Serb than Dragan Šoć, Predrag Drecun and Novak Kilibarda combined.
Slobodan, send salads/ there will be meat, we are slaughtering Croats; Muslim black crows/ black have come to you days - was part of the DPS repertoire.
Due to the short memory of Montenegrins, the President can now say that Montenegro "correctly decided in 1999 when it did not join the war against the NATO alliance".
To state that "she was not bombed" is not that he shouldn't have, but I am not sure that the President is even aware of what he said...
Montenegro was not bombed?!...
Has he ever heard that sad story about Saša Stajić, a 19-year-old kid who couldn't stand military drill. Everyone in the barracks knew it, he tried to escape, the journalists then recorded the story of his comrades that, allegedly, on March 24, he was sent to guard duty as a punishment... He died and is considered the first victim of NATO aggression...
Did anyone tell him how Paška Junčaj was killed by shrapnel that hit her in the head... Šipčanik was bombed that day in three waves.
Has he ever read the names in the newspaper - Julija Brudar (10), Olivera Maksimović (12), Miroslav Knežević (13), Vukić Vuletić, Manojlo Komatina and Milka Kovačević...
Six of them died in Murin...
In Montenegro, which "wasn't bombed"...

Sunday, October 9 - The case of Zlatko Paković, the author and director of the play "Pier Paolo Pasolini directs the Last Judgment", reliably testifies to how those who do not fit into the campaign of pre-election whitewashing of the former regime fare.
- The client does not consider the content of the dramatic text to be adequate for the goals and values that the client promotes - with those words, the capital city of Podgorica, delivering the author via courier a stamped order in the middle of the rehearsal, banned work on the play.
The content of the dramatic text is partially known, but enough to notice that the characters of the President and the Mayor are drastically different from their pre-election image intended for voters.
The values promoted by the Principal have been fully known and noticeable for three decades, only their linguistic form is new.
Non-fulfillment of obligations, that's how Montenegrin says censoring and banning a theater performance.
Despite this, the show will be played. When and where, we will find out just before the start.
Just in case, with such city remnants of the former state regime, you never know, it might occur to them to organize a surprise even in the middle of the premiere...

Monday, October 10 - The authors and directors of the theater play in Morinje - ministers Raško Konjević and Ranko Krivokapić - managed not only to surprise all of Montenegro, but also to shock all its anti-war activists from the beginning of the nineties.
This is how it happens with the grotesque, caricature-fantastical and distorted image of reality, which does not cause comic but - terrifying feelings.
And the horror was already the beginning, the unveiling of the memorial plaque on which it is written:
"During the Great Serbian aggression against Croatia, there was a camp in this place, the so-called Morinj Center (October 3.10.1991, 18.8.1992 - August XNUMX, XNUMX) for detained Croatian civilians and defenders."
The Morinj camp, as it was perceived by all prisoners and as it was called by all anti-war activists, was located in Montenegro.
In that camp were men who were captured by the state of Montenegro while occupying the territory of neighboring states.
Montenegro was ordered to pay 145 euros for 1.400.000 prisoners of war from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
What a disgrace to the great Serbia, the camp in Morinje was part of an autochthonous Montenegrin project whose performers were gathered under the anthem "The Zeta flows through Montenegro, the Neretva will soon too."
The bearer of that project was the Montenegrin state leadership and for that, upon its completion, it was rewarded with the support of two-thirds of the citizens of Montenegro.
That the whitewashing of that shameful past is necessary for the only survivor, both literally and politically, of a member of such a top state - can be understood.
It can be explained that Croatia agrees to this whitewashing for good-neighborly and Euro-Atlantic reasons.
But that the criminal past of the former regime is painted over by anti-war activists - there is no understanding, no explanation, and especially no justification for that.
Those crimes were not committed by someone else "in order to disgrace the name and spirit of Montenegro", they were committed by Montenegro.
Nor did "Montenegro go to war to kill itself", quite the opposite - it went unprovoked in the most shameful and only occupation war campaign in its four hundred years of war history.
There is no appropriate word for the fact that "Montenegro was no less a victim than you in this camp."
In fact, there are, but they can't get into a decent newspaper.
And for other topics after Morinj - sorry, I don't have the strength...
