Tunnel

This is an attraction, even in a country accustomed to all kinds of miracles.

A rented apartment, diggers, a tunnel to the court building, entering the court depot... Let someone tell you that they saw in Njegoševa Tom Cruise, it would be clear - a new "Mission Impossible" must be filmed. But nobody saw Cruz, there is definitely some other "mission" involved, possible or impossible.

Before this tunnel, the most famous "tunnel" in this city had an (un)sporting sign - in the XNUMXs, an unfortunate football referee Sreckovic he was severely beaten in the tunnel of the stadium under Gorica, and the Yugoslav public was buzzing about the "Tunnel Affair" for months. Nothing was ever discovered. Tunnels are usually dark, and in the darkness you can see little.

bulgakov je Demin considered the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" to be a perfect novel. Regardless of the reputation of Alexander Dima, who saw literature as a job and wrote novels, one could almost say - on a conveyor belt, his story of betrayal and revenge against former friends hits the core of human desire. But, as you remember, before the act of revenge, a tunnel is crucial - through which the future Count of Monte Cristo will escape from the dungeon, but with the information about the hidden treasure that he receives from the old man who has been digging the tunnel for years. That's how Dima properly "equipped" him for the voluptuous reader's enjoyment of revenge. Ten years ago, there was a popular Turkish series "Ezel" here, which is a remake of Dima's famous plot.

A similar theme and code is varied Stephen King ("Rita Hayworth and Redemption in Shawshank"), and the short novel "The Tunnel" Ernest Sabat, is one of the emblematic modern novels. There is no digging, his tunnel is a powerful metaphor for a special relationship with the world and reality.

Just as traffic (public) tunnels are a way to cut a short cut through a mountain, obviously people are even more fascinated by these "private" tunnels. There is no human being who has not at least once dreamed of some kind of tunnel that will lead him to something beyond reach. And there we are talking about a shortcut, a way to (invisibly) achieve a goal. And that is what always unsuspectingly plays out human fantasy, and Dima unmistakably felt it.

But perhaps even more interesting here is how the system reacted. And it is to be expected that in such non-standard situations a system will show its true face. In Montenegro, that face is undoubtedly a tireless dilettante. It's like nobody knows their job. Except for the digger, of course...

Let's start from the already legendary formulation of the President of the High Court. That incredible wording is the best illustration of disagreement and personal inadequacy. "Almost nothing is missing". And at the same time, this was not said by the court janitor, but by a distinguished judge, the first man of the institution. So what does the statement that "almost nothing is missing" mean? Nothing, actually. It should create the impression of minimal damage, but "almost" means that any of the individual documents, evidence, items... could be missing.

And then, as if all that were not enough, the ministerial promenade followed. Like Vucic, was not applied, the prime minister reached out to see if anything had been missed, as if he and the ministers were investigating. Everyone from the government walked along the tunnel under the jade...

I guess it's that warrior culture - when there are nineteen guns - almost nothing. You will find that in every better house...

An intriguing question remains - what was the intention of the diggers? To take something (although almost nothing is missing, right), or to add something? Probably, the digging of the tunnel itself is a sufficient reason for the stored evidence to be considered "compromised", or as they say - "contaminated".

If it is true that the draft was the reason to even notice the hole in the wall ("Hole of Justice", that's the name for the next ferry!), that alone is bizarre to the point of thrash.

Perhaps, in that spirit, the tunnel should be preserved and turned into a tourist attraction?
