Friday, October 21 - We will win so that no one loses. We will win so that the sun that will shine on our city on Sunday will soon warm all of Montenegro and dispel the dark clouds that hung over it two years ago - this is how it is Ivan Vukovic started the final convention of the DPS coalition in Podgorica.
It was as if a ghost had come over him Svetozar Marović, of the first Other who tried to become the First. And because of that, he had to end not only his career, but also his life in Montenegro.
We will find out very soon at the extraordinary congress whether his fate - a political one, not a judicial one - will also befall the other Other who indulged in the fairy tale of a healthy wing.
Victory without losses was possible only in the inspired pre-election performances of the Father of the party, which for thirty years led the whole of Montenegro from defeat to defeat.
That the sun will shine on its capital on Sunday is possible only after - the defeat of DPS.
It will only be able to warm up the whole of Montenegro if the winners are willing and able to keep it warm until spring with the hope of an even fiercer victory.
That there is no more hope for DPS, it was already written tonight on the face of Prvo. And said by his silence.
P(r) called him, with words of thanks, the candidate for mayor.
Candidates for future opposition members in the capital chanted "Milo, Milo", persistently and loudly.
Despite this, Milo Đukanović did not say a word at the final convention.
For the first time in thirty-two years.
The first time and the first one came out, at the same time it was finished...

Saturday, October 22 - Election silence and a day to read stale news...
Oh, what a Podgorica assembly it was.
And the election of the mayor for three and a half days.
And the announcement of a precipitous fall...
Not so much because of the transformation of Podgorica into the capital of the DPS... Not even because of the communist-patriotic movements that led a nationalist-chauvinist offensive against hundreds of thousands of traitors in the name of the Party and for Druga Milo...
It was obvious that the All for Our City coalition had embarked on a path of no return after several decades of moral stumbling, which was finally certified by the president of the city parliament. Đorđije Suhih and Mayor Ivan Vuković.
"I am ready to face criminal charges and - if your option wins - I will gladly go to prison as well. Because if that wins, then it's a question of prison and freedom, just a question of square footage," said Suhih.
The last word he addressed to the alderman, muttering to himself Mitra Vuković from the Democrats was not clear. It is clear, however, that it was the last day of the political career of the once respected doctor.
"On the way here this morning, I received information, my colleagues from the cabinet called me, that a woman is waiting for me on the municipal application form, she has no bread to eat. Her electricity was cut off, she has a sick child and she came to say that she was going to throw herself off the bridge. There is no one to help her, should we wait for the Supreme Court", addressed Ivan Vuković, bypassing business rules and also human rules...
"Here I go," said one of the councilors.
"Give me the phone number, moralist... Come on, moralist... Shame on you...", the mayor snarled for all the money.
If the story about the hungry woman on the application form is made up - he put himself in prison. If he told the truth - he and everyone in the city administration and the entire party, led by the boss, are in black.
How black - the camera showed, zooming Miloš Nikolić how is the black thread the white thread...
***
Sunday, October 23 - The same facial expression tonight, after the announcement of the unofficial results...
Only Miloš Nikolić is with Ivan Vuković, as if only he shares the blame for the defeat with the mayor.
As if the causes of today's results are from yesterday.
Or from the day when the two entered the DPS...
Better said, when the DPS entered them. That's why now they have to pay the guild for the sins of that party from the time when the two of them went to kindergarten...
A sad sight, but there is no reason for pity. When they joined the adult DPS members from the nineties, they were of age...

Monday, October 24 - The defeat of DPS in Podgorica was expected, but somehow this order of winners is very strange.
Europe now took first place thanks to last year's promises about salaries and pensions, which were fulfilled this year by URA and SNP.
The Democratic Front is second in strength thanks to the fundamental contract for which it fought to be signed - the Socialist People's Party.
The Democrats paid the guild for trying to attract Serbian votes by turning towards the SPC. The DCG did not take anything from the DF and its partners, and it lost its strength by losing a part of civic-oriented voters.
Unfortunately, the SNP died because of its entry into the government supported by the DPS. Despite the fact that precisely because of that entry, that party managed to fulfill the most important pre-election promise
URA remained the same, although it hoped for twice as good a result. She too was held accountable by the minority government for some difficult and unpopular decisions.
But, unlike the SNP, the URA has a chance to improve it in the parliamentary elections...

Tuesday, October 25 - Am I disappointed with the voting results? No, because I should first be charmed by the cultural, educational, political and ethical level of party officials and their voters.
If they like to believe in fairy tales about emperors and their chests full of gold and if changing the flag on the local government building is more important to them than changing the way of governing - who am I to take away their right to dreams.
After all, they will soon be awakened by their own identical vote in the spring. When they get the same result again and when inter-party bickering wastes another six months of their lives...
But then will DPS and Milo Đukanović finally become a thing of the past?
Possibly, but the future does not become better by fighting against something, but for something...
PS By voting against DPS, the government in my native Danilovgrad changed for the first time in 32 years. I hope that we won't have to wait even 3,2 months to vote for the City...
