Friday, May 26 - The reality program Zadruga will be canceled on June 8, announced TV Pink and reported by almost all media in the region.
One of the demands of the "Serbia against violence" protest, to cancel programs that promote violence and immorality, was fulfilled, the anti-cooperative portals interpreted.
One of the wishes of the President of Serbia has been fulfilled, specified the creator of the Cooperative and the owner of Pink.
"On the recommendation of the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, I made the decision to cancel the reality show Zadruga in the shortest possible time, no longer than ten days. I believe that the unity of Serbia and the assessment of the President of the Republic is more important than any kind of interest of Pink or my personal interest" - wrote Željko Mitrović on Twitter.
It has been clear for several weeks now why Vučić wanted to take at least one load off his back. Not only on the recordings of the mass protests in Belgrade, but also on the audio recordings from the negotiations on Kosovo.
Mitrović clarified his personal interest much earlier, in a polemic with opponents of the Cooperative:
"Of course I'm a profiteer who builds profits on your retardation, if you weren't stupid... I would never have recorded record profits!".
And why he broke his head and renounced the main legal source of profit, was explained the day after the decision to shut down the reality show.
Telekom Srbija, which is majority owned by the state, decided to buy the mobile operator Globaltel, whose majority owner is Željko Mitrović, for 17 million euros.
So much for the fight of the state of Serbia against violence by abolishing the Cooperative, but "Serbia against violence" will discuss it with her on the Street.
My problem is the former government that allowed such a program to be imported into Montenegro. And he should be tried in court.
Not only with those who signed import permits, but with those who ordered them to do so.
Translated into the language of the judiciary, with the organizers of a criminal group that engaged in unauthorized circulation of intoxicating hate speech, illegal advertising of convicted criminals and abuse of official position.
The organized killing of Montenegrin culture, not suddenly and once, but premeditated and over an extended period of three decades, deserves at least as long a prison term.
When the first Pinka containers were imported to Montenegro, the workers at the terminal may not have known what was in them.
The state leadership not only knew, but ordered them precisely because of this content.
Every word about the war merits of that peak is overpowered by noisy turbo-folk, every picture of war smuggling is covered by starlets...
And instead of footage from the battlefield for which (also) our army is responsible, we were shown the embittered widow of a war criminal whose children had their family idyll interrupted...
That's how it started...
The brainwashing continued by branding opponents of the regime.
First, by conveying the most primitive and scandalous feuilleton not only in the national Pobjeda, but also in the history of Montenegrin journalism.
That series about the owners of Vijesti was read on TV Pink at least ten times a day, and the monster-news Minut-dva was extended to hoo-two.
"Selected" words about two female journalists and two female bankers made the diary of insults from the era of incitement to war look like a manual for diplomats...
After the bomb-news, there followed - bombs on Vijesti...
The regime realized that Pink needed to be restrained only after 26 years, when Minute-Two in 2020 turned against him.
Too late, because in the meantime those minutes have created hours, days, months and years of lies and hatred on social media.
The cooperative was only one of the consequences of that joint criminal enterprise.
And crimes are not stopped only by sanctioning the consequences...

Saturday, May 27 - One of the consequences of pink's poisoning of the public media space was the decision of the SDP list holder not to go for consultations with the President.
Jakov Milatović was criticized on social networks, but Nikola Đurašković could not find a factual description for such a decision in any of his words, gestures or actions, neither during the campaign nor after winning the presidential elections.
Jaba started properly... honorable president, well sir, well congratulations... He should have done all that seven days ago, without an intermediary...
In vain and continuation, that "our country needs changes, new policies, new politicians, different communication and different behavior of politicians after they come to power"...
They are, but Milatović is that new politician, with a new policy, different communication and different behavior.
And, yes, according to the Constitution, he is obliged to "represent all citizens of Montenegro", but not to "throw away the party card"...
The only problem is that Nikola Đurašković is one of those who are not allowed to ask him for it.
Because the former President served two mandates with a membership card and a leadership function, while Đurašković and his party remained silent throughout that decade.
Unfortunately, it did not occur to anyone to start the procedure, but to at least publicly mention leaving the office even while Ranko Krivokapić was the president of the Assembly and the party.
The SDP remained silent even while Raško Konjević was the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Army.
I don't know how useful Milatović's "potential political neutrality" would be for Montenegrin society, but it would certainly be useful for SDP if Đurašković was a little less "politically neutral"...
And that he did not address the President from the traditional but unsubstantiated heights of Esdepe:
- After the election, you will have the opportunity to prove the sincerity of your intentions. Then, outside the election campaign and I hope without the constraints of the party membership card, there will be a legal basis and meaning for moderating political communication!
But, after June 11, it will no longer matter whether there is a "legal basis and meaning for moderating political communication"...
More important than that will be whether there will be SDP!

Sunday, May 28 - ZBCG obviously wants to exist "as long as there is Sunca and as long as there is Grahovca", but political theory will never be able to explain the existence of a coalition after its disintegration. Three years ago in three parts, and this year the largest first part in two...
Of that political phenomenon, only one psychological one is more difficult to explain.
What is the logic that the holder of the list, Milan Knežević, will not talk to Jakov Milatović if he was actually elected as President "thanks to the votes of the ZBCG coalition and the invitation of the DF presidential candidate Andrija Mandić"...
And that he addresses his President in a way that even his angry opponents did not:
- I finished with the seniors back in '98. year... I don't want a new class teacher...
The request "if he wants to talk with ZBCG, he must first resign from the position of one of the leaders of PES" is also inexplicable.
And that, after that, he "commits that he will influence Milojko Spajić not to go with the DPS".
Did I understand this correctly...
If Jakov Milatović, from the position of President of the State, influences the leader of a certain party, with whom will he form a coalition?
Two days later, Knežević's reason for not coming was not the class elder:
- I didn't come to the meeting with the other paper holders because Milatović announced it after the meeting with the American senators - he wrote himself an excuse for missing the "class"...
And he explained that the "political madness in which Montenegro has completely lost its independence and in which the ambassadors decide what is allowed and what is not" must not continue.
Milan Knežević will discuss this with himself regarding the defense of independence.
However, Jakov Milatović's public advocacy for a general consensus is not up for discussion.
It has been going on for months, and it started before the presidential election campaign.
And not that he advocated once or twice, not a day went by that he did not mention that "he will not advocate for some majorities, two-thirds or three-fifths, but for the consensus of all political forces in Montenegro"...
And so many times that I learned it by heart...
And as for "political madness", no matter how much the West gets on my nerves, I wouldn't say that we import it from there.
Because Montenegro goes politically crazy much more often when the President of Serbia addresses the leaders of ZBCG, without the presence of the ambassador...

Monday, May 29 - The SDP joined the "political frenzy" today, even its list holder did not go to the meeting with the President.
Not that that party gave me many reasons for optimism in the past decades, but I trusted in the rationality of some social democrats from the old guard.
Unfortunately, a week after the inauguration, Nikola Đurašković managed to score her second own goal.
The third party can cement that party as a national one, if he does not pay attention to the political society in which he finds himself.
Even if the SDP does not pass the census on June 11, the original ideas of that party will still be very important for Montenegro.
But only if history doesn't repeat itself...

Tuesday, May 30 - What will arise from these occasional bouts of empathy by Jozep Borelj towards Montenegro, and I have to leave that assessment to Vijesti columnist Željko Pantelić.
The only thing I can assess today is that my blood pressure rose again.
- Montenegro is the most advanced candidate country, an important ally and a future member of the European Union - said the high representative of the EU to the President Jakov Milatović.
Seven days earlier, the truth is not directly like this, but through the media, except that he did not threaten the same Montenegro with the status of Ukraine and Moldova.
- Ukraine is rapidly implementing reforms that lead it to membership in the European Union, while candidates from the Western Balkans are lagging behind and should follow that speed and reforms. If the partners in the Balkans do not make up for it, Ukraine and Moldova can also overtake them - this is how well-informed officials at the Union headquarters interpreted Borelj's statement at the meeting in Brussels.
After the conversation with President Milatović, there is no sign of those warnings.
Unfortunately, no explanation as to whether they were just joking around in Brussels last week...
