On election night, Miki acted as Bata Three-Winged in a visit to Štefica Cvek. The dawn of the world that saw the world and knocked on our door. To prove himself on home soil, fulfill our dreams and implement agendas that make our knees buckle. Crypto royalty to him, salaries of a thousand euros to us, until we all ask for more. And they watched the Prime Minister gather a two-thirds majority, truly and without foiling, from which even the Brussels administrators get goosebumps. It's up to us to trust and not let the aunts hang around while he's working.
And the beginning promised miracles. The Orthodox majority reconciled with the less numerous peoples, to choose prosecutors together and penetrate the depths. He didn't ask Ervin about the coup, nor did Andrija mention Stan-effendi, but they shared the administration brotherly like Vance and Owen in Bosnia. Aleksa capitulated the high parliamentary chair, and Dritan threatened with a cake that no one cared about. On Twitter, the former prime minister appeared and disappeared like a fresco. To preach that after Milojko's mandate, there will be no more parties or divisions in Montenegro, and "Europe Now" will be released in sequels like Marvel's blockbusters.
And then the aunts started calling. That they disturb the concentration of the president and destroy the dreams of the voters.
As soon as the territories under the administration began to decrease, Ervin and Adrijan remembered Mandić's quince in the drawer, so they began to pick allies. Uncle Gabi was also choosing, while making lists of eligibles from what was left of the August majority. Just when Miki managed to secure a narrow majority according to diplomatic tastes, the unsuspecting head of the parliament woke up and became snarky towards those with whom he overthrew Dritan last summer. Who happens to be, it was a one night vote adventure, which even a face permanently etched in a political biography can endure.
Then the aunts from Belgrade were already singing, ready to, now officially, help their relatives in the neighborhood. They threatened the representative not to play discrimination and reminded that MPs are easily lost on the wrong path to the government. Where Belgrade remained vague, the messages were interpreted by President Jakov. He was amazed at the mandate that he does not know how to choose from the buffet table and threatened with special elections and the splitting of the party. Because there is a supreme commander over the party president who may not have an army but has political saboteurs. They are ready to set fire to the parliamentary club if the representative refuses to be gallant like Jakov in Podgorica.
Since then, Miki avoids journalists and treats political allies like girls in the Far East. To some, he packs a basket overnight and offers reconciliation, to others he sends threatening messages, and still others don't even know how long their relationship will last.
Instead of a two-thirds government of brotherhood and unity, he offers a minority government based on the Podgorica recipe. In which everyone will get at least a ministry and what they want from the contributions from the administration, as soon as they sign the agreement on peace in the world and the new responsibility. Andrija will sit in Aleksa's armchair, when Jakov has already taken Milo's. He will forgive Miki for beating him and wait until 2024 for his party colleagues from the depths to move to the Government. Until then, they will let the prime minister wonder how many female mayors there are in Podgorica. That he rules in the shadow of the head of parliament, cuts ribbons and answers journalists with "that's it".
But after the negotiations, there are no regrets and now someone has to eat that Dritan's cake. Because, just yesterday, we had a representative who will invite everyone to the cabinet except the octopus and the hand of justice. A party that will gather believers, citizens and former DPS members around a full wallet. Two leaders, two young yuppies, next to lead the country to the gates of Brussels. Instead we have Milo and Momir from the 1996 edition, and the promising party now exists only in electronic sessions and viber groups. And Western scholars now have as much leadership authority as others allow them to.
Because after too long negotiations with the established party, the prime minister is left to play the role that the president of the state has already mastered. To brag about two-thirds majorities and give ethical lectures from someone else's arms. To fulfill the wishes of the coalition partners, if he intends to keep at least some pre-election promise. In the meantime, they can watch together as their partners tear down what the two of them failed to tear down on the party.
That's why Miki could immediately fulfill some small wish, when he doesn't have any big dreams. Like Štefici Cvek back then, it is clear to us that this love will not have a happy ending. There will be none of the big promises and breathtaking economic programs. That's why there's no need for Mickey to worry about raising wages and the crypto state. It is enough to raise prices and add antidepressants to that "Stop Inflation" package. To bear this political stability more easily.
