Friday, November 3 - Uh, it's good, just to support like this... I'm completely delighted with the start of the new government...
To make sure there is no confusion, I haven't crossed my mind that Milojko Spajić really deserves to be its president...
But Montenegro definitely deserved to have Milojko Spajić as its prime minister.
- This is actually a people's government, this people loves this kind of government, this government loves its people, there is no need for us to spoil that idyll - this is how Slavko Perović, the only living legend of Montenegrin politics, explained the decision to subject the LSCG to euthanasia...
Twenty years later, it is good news that - despite similar circumstances - Ura still did not follow this path of the Liberal Alliance...
However, it is bad news that the political assets of Dritan Abazović - cheers to him and long life - are already experiencing the fate of the church assets of the late Metropolitan Amfilohi...
The only difference is that the metropolitans lasted at least three weeks after leaving this world, and the ex-prime minister not even three days after leaving power.
And that Prime Minister Spajić, unlike Patriarch Irinej, started from the thin end...

Saturday, November 4 - Lightly promised speed, today I remembered Dragiša Pavlović, the first victim of Balkan populism on the eve of the nineties...
He was part of the communist government, but he not only realized faster and better than anyone, but also publicly warned in a timely manner how thin the line is between giving power to the masses and sacrificing that mass for the sake of power...
I don't want to be gloomy, Milojko Spajić just became prime minister, but the beginning doesn't give me any hope...
Allegedly devoted to transparency, he first banned TV broadcasting of Government sessions...
Sworn to austerity, he increased the number of state secretaries to 42...
Caring for the poor, he promised that only minimum pensions would be increased, and so drastically that the collateral benefit amounts to about 40.000 votes...
Inclined to cooperate with the entire opposition - excluding Ure - he postponed the census...
Four overturned decisions in three days, isn't it...
The fifth, if we're being honest, should be the annulment of the basic contract.
For what?
Well, because its adoption was the fifth point of the political priorities of the Government of Dritan Abazović in the Agreement on Parliamentary Support signed by DPS...
And also because it is not realistic for Prime Minister Spajić to take on the obligations from the contract that he publicly claims he would never sign...
It would be more realistic than that for Milan Knežević to take over from Vjosa Osmani the agreement for ambassador in a country that he would never recognize...

Sunday, November 5 - It's a shame, what kind of a way is it that a teacher and a housekeeper receive equal pensions, said one surveyed citizen on the evening TV news...
Yes, I join in from this side of the screen, and shame and shame and more than that...
And humiliation for more than 40.000 professors, engineers, doctors, scientists, writers, painters...
And all pensioners, not only university-educated ones, who have been paying twice as long - between 35 and 40 years - at least three times as much money into the PIO Fund...
But what are we going to do now with the poor woman who only last year crossed the dream limit of 250 euros?
The same thing that should have been done then - leave social problems under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Social Welfare, its affiliated centers for social work and other social services.
The PIO fund is not that, it is only a custodian of the invested money whose payment, when the time of retirement comes, is guaranteed by the state...

Monday, November 6 - What is the strength of that guarantor, he showed the defeat of one of the most effective state administrations after the attack of one party.
And the party only confirmed that it has no intention of changing, especially not its original practice, which has remained consistent for thirty-odd years...
Who cares about state institutions when it comes to party interest, the shortest description of that practice is...
In accordance with it, the result of the one-month match DPS: Monstat was - 10:0...
It didn't help that even Eurostat publicly cheered for the Statistics Directorate team twice.
Nor the fact that EU statisticians publicly refused to play guardians to colleagues from Montenegro during the census...
And at the same time they persistently repeated that they were convinced on several occasions of the high quality of Monstat's work...
Despite this, the Government of Milojko Spajić declared Monstat incapable of carrying out the population census within the deadline for which it was already prepared...
The Administration for Statistics will only be allowed to do the regular work it has been doing perfectly for decades - for 1981 I personally testify - only with the supervision of local guardians, I almost wrote starlets, from the parties...
There would be nothing unusual in this subjugation of the state to the will of the party if 95 percent of the employees in Monstat had not worked there during the DPS rule...
And almost all instructors and controllers have already done the 2011 census, many of them also the one from 2003.
Unfortunately, who cares about the professional and personal honor of those people, the most important thing for the prime minister was to please the former regime while it was still alive.
You never know which wing will suit him after the statement of the last DPS Prime Minister, Duško Marković, that he is "thinking about a new party"...

Tuesday, November 7 - Well, the desire to postpone the census was not fully fulfilled, for the six months that the (still) unified party needed for one more manipulation of the national issue ahead of another extraordinary election or an extraordinary reconstruction of the Government...
The census was postponed only for a month, which means that by then all the demands of the opposition will be met.
There are many of them, so I will list only the initial ones that DPS ultimately presented at the end of September:
Achieved political stability;
The regularity of the census is ensured;
Eurostat and the European Commission urgently involved in monitoring;
Acquired adequate equipment;
The opposition parties were given full control regarding the number of enumerators, controllers and the process of monitoring data entry;
Non-governmental sector involved in supervision;
Established borders between Podgorica, Tuzi and Zeta;
Budva municipality president released from detention;
The political crisis in Andrijevica and Zeta resolved...
Uh, I forgot another condition, to find those agents of the Serbian BIA who infiltrated the Directorate of Statistics in order to reduce the number of Montenegrins.
But that is not in any of the announcements?
There is none, but it is in the statement of the acting president of DPS.
- Do you have information that a man from the BIA has been in Monstat for a long time, with the task of falsifying the results of the census - that's how the question was asked in a radio show.
- I have. And it's not one! - replied Danijel Živković.

Wednesday, November 8 - I would not know if and how many ANB agents the former Prime Minister Dritan Abazović managed to insert into the European Commission...
But that kind of brutal elimination of all the serious accusations he was exposed to, and I didn't manage to do that either, even though I tried my best since the day he was dismissed...
Yes, the EC Report will not change my attitude towards the hypocrisy of European officials and Brussels officials, but a concern is a concern...
I would not live to miss reading the destruction of Montenegrin judicial and legislative power for the third time, as soon as I finish this torture of writing pointless columns...
I know, long and hard persuasion follows with an anonymous reader who regularly forbids me from calling my writing futile, but it is what it is...
As far as the former prime minister is concerned, the clear position of the European reporters that the deadlock in chapters 23 and 24 cannot be blamed on the Government but on the Parliament and the courts is futile.
The repeated warning that without meeting the criteria for those two chapters, none of the others could even be closed... was in vain.
The chase will continue until he shuts up and as the leader of Ura...

Thursday, November 9 - Just about, who knows how many times, I was forced to shut up forever, too, when I heard the head of the EU Delegation, Oana Kristina Popa:
- I welcome the fact that Prime Minister Milojko Spajić's priority is the appointment of holders of judicial positions - that's exactly what she said.
Unprovoked, bless us and her and the Delegation...
And with the same European Union...
And especially with a prime minister like this...
