Friday, January 13 - Bad day, that's what the superstitious people think. The part that unquestioningly trusts the parties does not even bother to think.
Otherwise, he would not have followed the party leaders so blindly, even after they themselves began to show symptoms of blindness. Political, to avoid confusion...
When a party idea is put into circulation, it immediately becomes salutary, even when it is in conflict with reality.
The statement of one of the leaders that the parliament should abolish itself has not yet cooled down, and the networks started cheering for extraordinary parliamentary elections at the same time as the regular presidential elections.
There is no better solution, and patriotic analysts got involved. The unprecedented attack of love for the country prevents them from seeing how they are leaving it without the last functioning institution.
If we don't count the institution of the President as functional, which is, not since yesterday, the main cause of the blockade of the state and its institutions.
The Constitutional Court has been clinically dead for half a year...
The government lost confidence a month ago...
The Judicial Council is not in a position to clarify the retirement of one female judge, let alone to "retire" those whose judgments are based on ignorance or corruption...
In the main and largest city, the opposition is in power, in the secondary town of Šavnik, voting began - last year...
It is the fourth year since the VDT has been in an acting state, with no hope of getting out of it soon...
Of the laws that should end the blockade, three have been verified as unconstitutional, the fourth is currently under well-founded suspicion...
That's how it happens with lightly promised speed.
The European Union has been threatening the balance clause since last year, but it mitigates that threat a little with diplomatic finesse...
Uh, I almost forgot, the above-mentioned setbacks on the way to the EU have been around for a year and there's no one to iron out the change. A country that is still considered the first candidate for a year and a half is not capable of sending ambassadors at least to the member states of the European Union...
In such chaos, only DPS has reason to ask for simultaneous elections.
It is not realistic that this synergy would save him from falling to twenty percent, but it is humane to leave a percentage of hope to the loser...

Saturday, January 14 - Ceterum censeo Vladu esse delendam, I wrote late last night on Facebook.
And reasoned that I should kidnap before the prime minister answers me on his return from Tirana Tu quoque Brutus mi fili.
This is the literal translation of Julius Caesar's last words "Are you too, son of Brutus", allegedly spoken when he recognized his friend among those who literally stabbed him in the back...
Okay, I know that the knives have not been drawn on Dritan Abazović (yet).
I can also read dictionaries, I understood that instead wires should have stood sweetie or mother earth, depending on whether he counts me as a paternal or maternal aunt...
I do not understand, however, why such a fuss about traveling on the Government plane to Geneva, where the Prime Minister went to receive an official honor called an honorary doctorate.
And why then ceterum censeo that the Government should be destroyed?
Well, due to the fact that our Prime Minister did not arrive in Tirana by Red-taxi for the presentation of the honorary doctorate - attended by the current Prime Minister and former President of Albania, several ministers, the President of the Academy of Sciences and the Rector of the University...
And I wonder what I wonder at myself. How can journalists who do not distinguish between awarding and presenting notice the difference between an official honorary and a private one, i.e. personal doctorate...

Sunday, January 15 - What a suicidal start to the Democratic Front campaign!
We will withdraw the recognition of Kosovo. And that right after the scandalous recognition that "Serbia is our motherland". And something earlier that "Vučić is the president of all Serbs" and "Putin is a leader to be respected"...
It was a start worthy of the catchphrase of all Serbians from the nineties - winners in war, losers in peace.
With the fact that war this time does not mean a real shooting, but a political showdown with opponents in the pre-election campaign.
And under peace, the post-election negotiations on entering the government.
In which DF has already failed to enter twice...
Third - happiness? No matter what, with rhetoric that is two centuries behind the rest of Europe, the only achievable goal is - the first place in the opposition to the executive power.
Or another seat in the legislature. In which, as when he was the strongest, he will act as the opposition.
The question seems a bit silly, but it makes sense. Why would DF even want to come to power in a country that wants to join the European Union when it thinks exactly what it says about that community and its rules.
I don't have very nice words for the EU and its politics either. But it can be for me, I have no intention of running for councilor of the Republic of Zabjelo, let alone a member of the state or European Parliament...
It can also be done to Front, but only this time.
After the third democratic defeat, not only the rational part of the electorate, but even the Chetnik-leaning part, will have to ask themselves in a partisan way:
- Comrades, that is. Serbian brothers, did we fight for this...

Monday, January 16 - Uh, it's good, the presidential elections before the parliamentary ones, DPS didn't fight either...
Unfortunately, it is not good that the parties of the ruling bloc have not already fought to support a common candidate. And that they showed once again that even after two and a half years, they were not able to withstand the burden of their own victory.
But that's their problem? It is not, because the parties do not bear the consequences of negotiating at the last minute, and only after a fierce exchange of fire. Rather, voters who, after the pre-election period, are met with post-election disappointment.
Short memory is a miracle, if the presidential elections were held on August 30, 2020 - Milo Đukanović would have been defeated by a former prime minister whom few remember today.
At the vote in March, Zdravko Krivokapić would have been defeated even by Jevto Eraković in the first round.
And by the number of votes, he was tied with the equally inspired and equally forgotten candidate of the Natural Law Party.
Does anyone else remember those tables and graphs with which he convinced the voters in 1992 that all the political and economic problems of Montenegro could be solved by yogi-flying?
And thirty years before the former prime minister promised scientific evidence that hills and mountains can be moved by force of will...
Zdravko Krivokapić, lest it be forgotten, was the candidate of the coalition led by the Democratic Front.

Tuesday, January 17 - It's not all about the parties, Montenegrin institutions are also prone to the lightly promised speed. Just a month ago, the filling of the Constitutional Court was announced for - the day before tomorrow.
And just today, the hearing of the first of the 26 candidates began.
- To elect the four missing judges - as said by the president of the Constitutional Committee, which hears the candidates.
I wouldn't be trifling with either the delay or the slip, if it weren't for one major issue from the previous hearing that turned into an investigation into the fundamental contract with SPC.
No matter which candidate declared himself, for one of the two blocs it was a verbal offense on the basis of which party representatives assessed whether it was "ours" or "theirs"...
Today's litmus question about "basic" and "sour" national affiliation was equally inappropriate...
The result of which could be the same as the previous one...

Wednesday, January 18 - Supreme Court judge Svetlana Vujanović can return to work, the Judicial Council announced.
That her retirement was illegal, the Administrative Court realized only in the second attempt, after the first time it passed the opposite verdict.
Judge Vujanović is already at her workplace.
The same right could be claimed by five more of her retired colleagues...

Thursday, January 19 - Did I already say, lightly promised speed.
This has been the case since 1987, when, on the eve of the Eighth Session, Serbian politician Dragiša Pavlović warned about the future offered by Slobodan Milošević.
Montenegrin politicians of the time did not understand him.
Thirty-five years later, their successors not only do not understand the causes but also the consequences of that misunderstanding...
How did I get from bad Friday the XNUMXth to bad Eighth Session?
Easy, history repeats itself so many times in Montenegro that even as a farce it becomes unbearable...
