Secret information and public information

It is not yet known whether someone from the ANB will be heard in connection with security-related scandals. It's a pity, maybe then we would find out if ANB really just followed the route of that truck with tobacco or if that truck actually followed the ANB road map...

Friday, October 28 - Ugh, what was that public exposure of the former regime in front of the Security Committee, it's a pity that some hidden camera wasn't smuggled into the deaf room...

Knežević: Excuse me, but on what basis did you have permission to access secret data if you were not a public official?

Kentera: What does it matter, I don't have to be a public official...

Knežević: So, as a citizen, you received permission to access secret data?

Kentera: No, but as the president of the Atlantic Alliance.

Knežević: But the Atlantic Alliance is a non-governmental organization...

There is every chance that it is not, that it is just registered like that. If it was non-governmental, it would be subject to the laws of Montenegro, like all other NGOs.

And it would have the same status as the Union of Pensioners. Or the Association of Beekeepers...

The presidents of which, after the meeting where they admit that they had access to the secret data of ANB, would immediately end up - with the prosecutor.

Along with those who allowed that access...

Who, when and whether anyone from the National Security Agency will be questioned at least in relation to the latest security-related scandal - is not yet known.

It's a shame, maybe then we'll find out how the previous one happened...

Did ANB really just follow the route of that tobacco truck or did that truck actually follow ANB's road map...

Saturday, October 29 - Former director of the Real Estate Administration Dragan Kovačević ended up in the High Court. After almost two years on the run, the character 'coldly walked up to the first hearing of the process in which he is being tried for abuse of office.

This time, he was detained for an indefinite period of time, due to the risk of escape, which was made possible for him immediately after the two-month one.

Those who then let him escape, unfortunately, are not yet in custody.

What's worse, all those who enabled him to do all the things for which he was detained for years are at liberty...

Sunday, October 30 - Do you know what this great battle between DPS and Milo Đukanović for little Šavnik reminded me of... That defeat of their spiritual father, Slobodan Milošević, in Dayton.

- Šipovo is now ours, as is Mrkonjić Grad - he addressed the nation from the military base, triumphantly as if he had conquered not only the entire Bosnian state, but also half of Croatia.

It seems that DPS and its leader have completely killed themselves after the disaster in the local elections. Is it realistic to hand over state power without a single word, and not hand over the power in Šavnik without bullets...

I don't mean quite literally, although the pictures from some polling stations do not bode well.

I understand the revolt of the natives, it is a suspicious mass phenomenon of people coming to a small town.

I also believe that its permanent residents know by name who has moved in recent months due to nostalgia for their hometown, and who will move away immediately after the announcement of the election results.

But this should have been thought of in time, when the Law on Residence and Residency began to be changed last spring.

They didn't know? Yes, the public hearing lasted ten days. Numerous round tables were held. Journalists have been reporting on the changes to that law for weeks...

Unfortunately, DPS-politicians and similar analysts used that opportunity only to spread panic that "the new government is punishing voters from abroad" because they came to vote for the former regime for decades.

At the time, no one thought to deal with domicile voters who can vote in any city if they change their place of residence 48 hours before the election.

Well, the guild is paying for that now in Šavnik.

But is it fair that the fate of the city is decided by those who do not live in it?

It's not, but it is - legal...

Monday, October 31 - Lučindan passed peacefully, but the hope that it would be like that for the whole week only lasted until the afternoon.

The session of the state parliament starts tomorrow, the population census is on the agenda.

As announced, the list will also include data on citizenship, national or ethnic affiliation, religion, mother tongue...

Uh, and we just rested a little after the basic contract...

Tuesday, November 1 - Montenegro is really untouchable, I strongly doubt that any country would remain intact after such a collapse of the system.

Just four days after the session of the Security Committee, the plenary session of the Montenegrin Parliament became interesting from a security point of view.

DPS: Today you are participating in the complete demolition of the Constitution of Montenegro. So this is the final stage.

DF: With this law, we want to stop the harmful consequences of President Milo Đukanović's decision not to assign the mandate to form the new government to Miodrag Lekić, even though he has the support of forty-one deputies. This is called a constitutional coup.

We will find out who is right when the Constitutional Court works in full composition. And four judges of the Constitutional Court will be elected when they give their consent - DPS and DF.

That it will happen soon is not realistic.

If their leaders had an iota of sense of reality, Montenegro would not have found itself in a vicious circle from which there is currently no way out...

And he hasn't been there since the day when DF joined the irrational plan to collapse the government just two months after the election. And without any realistic plan of what to do next...

DF did drop his request, but too late. Only when DPS responded to that request - positively.

Thus opened the first circle of political hell. Until the ninth, the order looks like this.

The government was overthrown.

The president blocked the election of a new one.

The Assembly will not shorten its mandate.

The government cannot dissolve the Assembly because the President and his DPS voted no confidence in it.

It is not possible to dismiss the President in the Assembly without a prior assessment by the Constitutional Court.

The Constitutional Court is unable to assess whether the President has violated the Constitution because four judges are missing.

Judges of the Constitutional Court cannot be elected without a two-thirds or three-fifths majority.

A majority for the election of those judges cannot be reached without the consent of the President and his DPS.

The President and DPS will not give this consent before the extraordinary parliamentary elections.

We cannot go to those elections without - the Constitutional Court...

Wednesday, November 2 - Amendments to the Law on the President were adopted by the parliament late last night.

Thus, the infamous tradition of making risky decisions in the midnight atmosphere, which was established three years ago by the President and DPS by adopting the church law, continued.

The change of that law was voted - on the street.

And then there were elections - the government changed...
