Friday, March 10 - What a mess, a party that has this kind of youth must be worried about its future.
- The Belvedere didn't fall, Jakov Milatović did - the local leader of the young Depees supported the attack by a group of royal protesters on the presidential candidate of Europe Now.
Taking as a model the one whose throne he defends, from the era when he too was a youth.
True, in 1990, the European-calibre reformer Anto Marković was forbidden by protesters not only to speak, but also to have lunch...
The same was the explanation - the defense of the achievements of the XNUMXth of July Virpazar, about which the AB juniors knew as much as these recent ones about Belvedere.
Belvedere 2021 is not even a Chinese copy of the original, but a Montenegrin fake.
Because the Belvedere protest in 1936 was organized against a regime that was democratic, fair and just as much as this one that was defended in the same place a year and a half ago...

Saturday, March 11 - The Cetinje reprise of the play whose premiere was directed by DPS on November 14, 1992 in Sljepač Most should have served to defend that regime.
The difference is that the promotion of Jakov Milatović and Europe is not prevented, while the promotion of Slavko Perović and the Liberal Alliance is.
However, a democratic breakthrough happened - the police in Cetinje did everything they could to ensure that the pre-election rally was held. In contrast to the police in Sljepač Most, who made superhuman efforts to prevent the liberals from reaching Bijelo Polje.
And one more, but thanks more to the technological than to the democratic progress of Montenegro.
Violation of the rights of one candidate and one party did provoke protests from some Cetinje citizens, but only on social networks.
Unlike the protest in 1992, which did look surreal, but it happened live.
Upon the news that the promotion of the liberals - most of whom were from Cetinje - was prevented by logs, tractors, cars and armed men, the citizens of Podgorica took to the streets.
Four young men - Saša Raonic, Vlado Raičević, Saša Đikanović and Vladimir Šoć - took down the tricolor flag from the mast of the Parliament of Montenegro and raised the red flag with a double-headed eagle.
For the first time since 1918, the Montenegrin flag flew in Montenegro. Which DPS authorities considered more Ustashi than the chessboard that made Milo Đukanović hate even chess.
Unfortunately, that red flag has been blushing with shame these days...

Sunday, March 12 - I was also ashamed, neither guilty nor obliged, while I read the reply of the mayor of Cetinje to the ambassador of France.
He started with gloves, as if he wouldn't... And then Nikola Đurašković, as if out of a burst, like an insulted commissar of a partisan company, read a history lesson to Christian Timonije.
- You did not have in mind the libertarian tradition of Cetinje... Cetinje was the first in occupied Europe to stand up against fascism... Cetinje produced more national heroes in the Second World War than many European countries...
It is, glory and mercy to all the fallen and to the living city-hero...
The Resistance Movement in Paris was not to be thrown away either - Ambassador Timonius could fight back.
And remember how in that city some young French people raised a rebellion in July 1940 because of the collaboration of Péten's government with Hitler.
And some mustachioed Montenegrins, a year later, organized the Petrovdan Assembly with the Fuehrer's best friend Mussolini...
He did not retaliate, he is an experienced diplomat.
I want to, I'm not very good with diplomatic manners anyway, and experience doesn't allow me to keep quiet.
It is true that "anti-fascist and anti-war values were defended in Cetinje in the XNUMXs", but it is not true that "they were also defended".
Because DPS won all local, parliamentary and presidential elections from 1990 to 2020. Only once, and that for a short time, was the minority administration of LSCG at the head of the capital...
Also, it is not true that "on September 5, 2021, anti-fascist and anti-war values were also defended".
It was an attempt to prohibit the enthronement of a metropolitan of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The first after a hundred years before, all the metropolitans from the same Serbian Church were enthroned in Cetinje peacefully, without any protest...

Monday, March 13 - It was a united blam of the vampiric coalition that has been pretending to be dead for almost eight years.
Unprovoked, because Christian Timonije did not say a single bad word about Cetinje or the people of Cetinje, on the contrary.
He gave the name "fascist aggression" to only one phenomenon.
And explained why.
- This type of aggression is not only against European values, but also against basic human values - it was clear to everyone who reads what was written.
Like Umberto Eco, who explained three decades ago that fascism is no longer recognized only when someone puts on a black shirt, takes a rifle and shouts "viva duche". But as soon as he starts taking away freedom of speech and freedom of political organization...
Why did Timonije's statement put pressure on only DPS and SDP?
Perhaps because only those two parties recognized themselves in his warning:
- Attention should be paid at all levels in all parties to prevent hate speech that opens up space for such unacceptable behavior.
If it weren't for that hate speech from a higher level, the French ambassador would not have been declared persona non grata at this lower and more massive level just because he answered one question to a journalist.
In spite of the fact that, as an experienced diplomat, he did not allow himself to use a single word, not even indirectly, to suspect someone who was already suspected by the local public of the Bruka in Cetinje.
However, the experience did not prevent the President of Montenegro from offering himself.
The statement about the scandal in Cetinje was only an occasion, the causes are much deeper and had more serious consequences.
Milo Đukanović has been fond of Kristijan Timonije ever since he served in Skopje. When he asked the European Union to reconsider the enlargement policy because "wealth in Montenegro is concentrated in 10 to 12 families"...
It was reconsidered, because of those 10-12 families, Montenegro is today closer to the status of Turkey than to EU membership.
This is why Djukanović is getting closer to Erdogan and further away from Timonije.

Tuesday, March 14 - Andrija Mandić also reconsidered his past experience. And from it, as if he were preparing for a retirement and not a presidential mandate, he deleted ten unfavorable years.
Can he be trusted? Or is it more likely that coming to the position of President would mean a return to factory settings?
We will never know the answers to those questions.
Because the handful of ballots he grabs on the opponent's bridge will not be even a hundredth part of the crowd he will lose from supporters on the bridge.

Wednesday, March 15 - If the polls are to be believed, Jakov Milatović has more chances to enter the second round than Andrija Mandić.
I guess because the inhabitants of Montenegro, ever since the time of Dafina, Jezda and Dede-Avram, believe in financial tricks more than empty money.
Europe is now hoping for a hat-trick: to occupy the positions of president, prime minister and mayor of Podgorica at the same time.
If she were to worthily replace the DPS, she would lack only the first chair of the parliament.
The trick that ES performed at the end of the campaign made that movement definitely unworthy of my vote.
I have been voting publicly for 33 years and it never occurs to me to object to Džemal Perović because of his public support for Jakov Milatović.
But I have a problem, and a big one, with the forgery that Milatović published.
That he was supported by "one of the founders of LSCG" who - not...
One of the leaders of Resist - yes, but that movement has no place in anyone's election campaign...

Thursday, March 16 - And my voice? Well, this time - to mutual surprise - he goes to Aleksi Bečić...
Yes, the Democrats haven't talked to me for a year and a half, but someone should let them know...
