Milo, what time is it?

That Thursday, Milo Đukanović had a debate with his opponents. It was necessary to choose the right outfit. He hadn't been in a situation like this for a long time, almost twenty years, so it made him a bit nervous. Blue and red, the usual color until then, seemed too aggressive to him. That's why he opted for a less conspicuous styling, without much flash. The style known among politicians as "I'm one of you" naturally excludes extravagant suits.

That's why he remembered with indignation his old friend VBP who, for this occasion, would certainly have recommended, for example, the creation of Ermenegild Zegna. Connoisseurs of the fashion industry, and VBP certainly is, say that while wearing one of these luxurious suits, you feel attractive and confident, as you always wanted.

Right, Milo thought, but these suits cost anywhere from $20.000 to $22.000, and the villains won't even understand that he didn't pay for that suit out of his own pocket, but that it was just given to him by VBP before he became Alec's wardrobe.

Somehow Đukanović solved all those dilemmas, but then came the hardest part. For some, they were just ordinary technical devices for measuring time, but not for Milo. Each of these beauties evoked in him a storm of memories and emotions. And memories of all those wonderful people, events, cities, jewelry stores, elections...

He was brought out of his reverie by the ringing of the phone.

- Shall we, President? It's time, they heard from the other room.

And just when he started to routinely put his favorite on his hand Patek philippe sky moon tourbillon (1.150.659 euros) take a look at the hands. He couldn't believe it.

"Philip", who never betrayed him, showed Twelve past five?!

Disappointed, quickly reach for it Breguet Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar (158.371 euros).

The same!

Already in a panic, he searched with his eyes Ulysse Nardin Classic Skeleton Tourbillon 18k white gold mens watch 1700-129/03 (67.334 euros).

And he was showing Twelve past five.

"Anything," Milo yelled furiously and with a heavy heart, for the first time in his political career, he decided to go to the show without a watch on his wrist.

Đukanović will only realize ten days later, actually on Sunday evening, what time it is on, as they say, his numerous, expensive watches. He will also see what time it is on the clock of citizens of Montenegro without even having to look at the hands.

That appearance of Milo Đukanović without a wristwatch in the first and only collective debate of the presidential candidates was completely overlooked by many or interpreted as just an exotic detail. And, even then, it was possible to assume with a fair degree of certainty what will happen on March 19.

Because, can you place this situation in the time five, ten or fifteen years ago, a similar reason for Đukanović, who would shy away from appearing on a TV show with "Filip Patek" on his arm? And that he will not have an answer to the question "how much did you pay for that hour, President"?

Let's remember, sure of himself and his victory, Đukanović, full of self-confidence, entered the battles with his political opponents carrying on his back and in his political baggage much greater burdens than the supposedly million-dollar collection of expensive wristwatches. He appeared casually in front of citizens and political opponents amid the "Abu Dhabi Fund" scandal. The transfer of the tranche of 14,5 million dollars was made through a special account opened at Prva banka, whose majority owner is Aco Đukanović.

Even the "Telekom" case from 2005, when the then state-owned company was sold to "Majar Telekom", did not throw him off balance. The American investigative authorities determined that during the sale of Crnogorski Telekom, at least two Montenegrin officials and a lawyer who was recognized in the public as Ana Đukanović, the sister of the current president of Montenegro, were bribed with over seven million euros.

Milo was not too excited even when serious accusations about the aluminum plant, "Limenka", "Boksita - Cetinje", "Piraeus Bank" and the custodian of accounts, "HTP Boka", "Koverte" or "Kampa Zlatica" came to the public, that we do not list further.

He rejected those accusations with indignation, went to the polls and won.

And now, so-and-so, self-confident Milo Đukanović, arrogant and arrogant, has come to the point that he is not allowed to appear on a TV show with one of his expensive watches?!

That fact can mean only one thing - Milo Đukanović lost these elections, whatever the results of the second round.
