What would this mean in Brussels, the leaders of the European Union told the countries of the Western Balkans that they can't wait for their integration...
It was not particularly emphasized, but Montenegro was also invited to the accelerated reception...
And what's so strange about it?
Nothing, if one little thing is ignored - that the invitation was sent to the fourth chapter of the EC report in which the situation in our country is described as follows:
No progress has been made in judicial reform, so far the most challenging area of the rule of law.
The judicial system continued to face a deep institutional crisis.
Tense and confrontational positions led to the blockage of the political system.
The political situation was dominated by the transitional government, which did not have the confidence of the Assembly.
The Assembly was not able to gather a clear and stable majority to continue the reforms, the boycott of a large part of the deputies affected its work.
There was a lack of direction regarding EU accession issues.
The Government and/or the Parliament have, on several occasions, ignored the recommendations of the European Commission and/or the Venice Commission.
* * *
And what did the European Commission conclude on November 8?
That Montenegro remains moderately ready for the application of the acquis of the EU and European standards in the area of justice and fundamental rights, but overall it has made limited progress.
That we cannot expect to join the EU before 2030, its officials said both before and after that report.
And how can he now, and that quickly?
Here I don't know, despite carefully reading the extensive Declaration. If the answer is not hidden in the leitmotif that runs through all 35 points.
That "joint action with the EU is a clear sign of the partners' strategic orientation, especially now, in light of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and other security challenges".
And that EU leaders praise those partners from the Western Balkans "who already show strategic commitment by fully aligning with the common foreign and security policy of the Union".
Translated from the language of Brussels officials into Montenegrin, this means that the adoption of legal acquis is no longer crucial for integration.
But the duration of the war in Ukraine, which the EU and the USA have been unable or unwilling to stop for 20 months.
If it is delayed, here we are in the European Union under abbreviated procedure.
And what will happen if Russia, by some miracle, withdraws itself from Ukraine?
And then the EU leaders will sit again...

Again, if he had known who would protest, the President of the Assembly Andrija Mandić would have attended the victory speech of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.
And I'm not referring to Jakov Milatović, he said exactly what the President of the country should and is allowed to say. All opposition parties also reacted relatively appropriately.
Apart from the DPS, if Mandić had known how much he would lose in that party, he would not have applauded so lukewarmly but with all his might.
It's true that spite is not a desirable tool in the political trade, but the ease with which the youth of the former regime acts in parliament so that "he doesn't see the speck in the other's eye" becomes unbearable.
And Andrija Mandić's participation in the celebration of Aleksandar Vučić really looks like a speck compared to the log with which Milo Đukanović, helping Tomislav Nikolić to defeat Boris Tadić, participated in obstructing Serbia's European path.
Depees can subject themselves to collective amnesia to their heart's content, but the fact remains that the radical won over the democrat in the third round.
And that this hard-won victory was accepted in the EU thanks to (i) the lobbying of the Montenegrin government, which at the time was reputed to be pro-European.
And not only was it accepted, but Tomislav Nikolić received a congratulatory message from Brussels almost an hour before the announcement of the unofficial results...
* * *
Searching for the speck in someone else's eye is also when the DPS MP asks to "give him one example in the world of someone from the state office holders going to take a picture at the election headquarters in another country... and it's not Milorad Dodik".
I'm not really up to date with this stage-level painting, but I can vouch for the photos from the villa in Gorica where Tomislav Nikolić was photographed in 2013 during the presidential campaign of DPS candidate Filip Vujanović.
And not only for that, I can give an honorable partisan - that no one from the DPS would think of the Chetnik mother again - that no MP of that party then thought of telling the president of the Serbian state what was said to the president of the Montenegrin Assembly.
Nor that "something so extraordinary, ugly and tragic" happened.
Nor that the Chetnik duke "stands with the Prime Minister and the DPS".
Especially not that Tomislav Nikolić "illegally transferred the chair - not of the president of the parliament but of the state of Serbia - to Montenegro"...
And as for the fact that "everyone in Montenegro, Serbia and the Republika Srpska entity knows that Andrija Mandić is devoted to the project of all Serbs in one state", there are only two choices for the healthy wing of the DPS:
Or to distance themselves from the creators and implementers of that project in their party.
Or that they put their ears together and once and for all stop looking for parties that were created in this century to blame for what theirs did in the past.

And now, unfortunately, we are renewing the material about a local project known under the working title "We have to stand in the way of that gang".
As we learn from correspondence published in Vijest, the gang are members of the Đurišić family from Zabjela.
The application that testifies to the details of that project from 2020 is not made of artificial Sky, but of natural skin, and human skin.
The reporters on the one-day details are Ivan Vuković and Vesna Medenica, and all the other participants will have to submit a report on the hunt for that "gang" that has been going on for three decades.
In court, not on the app...
If they were re-elected, the Chief Justice and the Chief Mayor would run away from the phone like the devil from a cross.
There has been no better proof of its service to justice and its service to citizens since Montenegro was declared a state of justice and citizens.
On that day, the bandit Vanja Đurišić and his bandit wife Danijela were already detained.
According to her testimony on Facebook, with all the attached photos and papers, that standing in the way of the gangs was in fact a demand that their children go to prison.
- At that time, Vanja, his brother Savo and I were brought before the magistrate. That was a tactic, to hide us in order to place criminal responsibility on the children, because they haven't been able to do anything to us for two and a half years - explained the bandit.
After being brought before the magistrate, they were released home.
* * *
- Today we packed up Đurišić, but it's all for naught with people like this in the system, Vuković sends a message to Medenica.
He waits for two hours, then urges.
Vuković: "President, when those detained on criminal charges are detained, it is important that the judge does not release them after two days".
The answer is coming.
Medenica: "It shouldn't be. On Monday, I'm at work, so I'll accompany you. I spoke with Pažina about staying in custody to give instructions."
For those who don't remember, Pažin is Zoran, the Minister of Justice.
And who are "those who are detained on criminal charges" and who "should not be released after two days"?
Four children of Đurišić!
Among them are two daughters, one of whom is a minor and the other in the third month of pregnancy...
Vuković: "Thank you. We have to put an end to that gang".
Medenica: "Well, it's only one".
* * *
About ten days earlier, the mayor complained to the supreme judge.
- President, pay attention to this embarrassment. The prosecutor urges us to act on the complaint of the lanky Vanja Đurišić - that's what the mayor wrote.
And continued threatening:
- I will call Ivica tomorrow. What the Basic Prosecutor's Office and the Misdemeanor Court are doing is a shame for the state.
Not that he got all the money, but he violated all the legal and moral norms.
And whether he got Ivica, we can't know until the telephones of the mayor and the chief prosecutor come in for expert examination.
For now, he avoided Marica.
He couldn't get the citizens, he got bogged down in the first following elections.
* * *
Vesna Medenica fared much worse. Not only because he is now on the dock in front of his colleagues.
But also because she is now being judged by the Montenegrin, and by God, the wider public.
And it's really a shame that the indictment was not written against her by the prosecutor, of whom Medenica says: "This is not normal"...
Why?
Well, because she wouldn't even accidentally forget to fill out the indictment with all the other judgments she influenced, not just those related to the accused son.
First of all, the verdicts on the lawsuits of Vanja Đurišić.
Because his trial with the state for stolen property turned into a trial of the state - the whole family.
And because every introduction, every saying and every explanation of all those judgments fit into three simple - maybe even simple - sentences:
- We have to get in the way of that gang!
- Stastiđe, the prosecutor urges us to proceed according to the lawsuit of slimy Vanja Đurišić!
- This prosecutor is not normal!
So much for the legal acquis of Montenegro!
