Friday, March 22 - Did I read today's breaking news correctly: the director of the agency that is supposed to prevent corruption honored herself with 13.500 euros...
"Let's face it, whenever I have to give the full name of ASK, I change it to the Corruption Agency.
Coincidentally, unlike her director... Who, in violation of the law, wrote herself overtime and variables...
It's true, it's not easy to earn dozens of covers in the media every month:
- Jelena Perović privatized ASK;
- Perović hides to whom he distributes salary supplements;
- The director of ASK hid income of 70.000 euros;
- Perović invented procedures against trade unionists, then suspended them;
- Double yards of ASK;
- Perović continues the persecution of dissidents;
- ASK continues to hide mileage...
There are a lot of similar titles on almost all portals, and not only this year, but the Council did not try to replace it even when it was in full composition and mandate.
Why? I don't know, but I have a rough suspicion that the answer can be found in the minutes of the Budget Inspection:
- From January to June last year, members of the Council were paid 10.000 euros more than prescribed by law...

Saturday, March 23 - The state government will discuss violations of the law and conflicts of interest with the director of the state agency at some point...
However, I am more concerned about the violation of the code of ethics and the conflict with moral norms...
Thanks to Skaj, colleague Jelena informed the public about this in detail back in November of last year:
- President, I have to tell you that the NP adviser is one of the few who is so dedicated to work and the court. Loyal to law and justice. I know there are criteria, but it seems to me that this feature cannot be recognized unless we say which one it works for. I simply had a moral obligation to tell you this. Excuse me on the loose. Greetings - Jelena Perović wrote to the President of the Supreme Court, Vesna Medenica.
She urged for another counselor a few months later:
- How are you? I forgot to tell you that my counselor JJ applied for misdemeanors. She is really great, a good person, from a family of intellectuals from Cetinje, Montenegrin... Everything is in its place?!...
He also informs her about a property proceeding in the capital:
- As long as you are up to date - writes Perović.
- OK. Thanks for the information. That's how conscientious people work - answers Medenica.
And that she was more conscientious than others is confirmed by the continuation of the correspondence:
- What you are doing? We will now receive a proposal for the detention of someone (...) who opened a bar today. (...) That you are up to date, and we receive suggestions - writes Perović in the extended version.
- Determine! - Medenica did not owe.
The command after the detailed information about the second process was just as short but more vivid:
- Skin it! - said the supreme judge.
- We have to! - retorts the president of the local court.
Vesna Medenica is no longer at the head of the jury, an attempted trial is underway...
Jelena Perović is the head of ASK and has not (yet) been charged...

Sunday, March 24 - Hejong Do Kwon is heavily accused by South Korea and the United States of America, but his extradition to his homeland was delayed by the Supreme Court.
The formal motive for the postponement is the request of the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office for the protection of legality.
The essential reason, for which the former king of crypto-currencies should be kept, apparently does not concern the Montenegrin judiciary.
And it should, because the affair caused by Do Kwon's letter about Prime Minister Milojko Spajić should not remain unresolved for at least two reasons.
To finally determine whether Spajić is really worthy of the position of Prime Minister.
And were the parliamentary elections really regular, i.e. whether the financing of the PES campaign was legal.
For both "I sign, I don't hope for success", as Mihailo Lalić would say.
And because who knows how many times, albeit in vain, I have to repeat the same question...
Are Do Kwon's four key claims true:
- That Spajić told him that he was "collecting a few million US dollars for the upcoming campaign".
- That it will mostly be financed by Spajić personally, and "the rest by other friends from the crypto-industry".
- That he asked Do Kwon to give him "his contribution", after which "the conversation went in a different direction".
- That Do Kwon has - which is the most important thing in this letter - "evidence of these communications and payments from other persons".
The frequently asked question, whether Do Kwon is a credible witness, was answered by the beginning of his letter:
- I have known Miki Spajić since 2018. He was an active investor in the crypto-currency industry at the time and we became friends with a very successful investor relationship. As we started investing early in a new industry, we were both successful.
Do Kwon further writes that he has remained in contact with Spajić for the past five years.
- And when he came to Serbia at the end of last (2022, note a.) year, he told me that he was also in Belgrade and invited me to visit his family (former partner and child), and he also came to my apartment to apologize.
- The primary subject of those talks was the planned candidacy for a high position in Montenegro.
- The primary goal of that candidacy was to improve the state's economy by adopting Crypto-Friendly policies, which I was also a fan of.
So much for witness reliability...

Monday, March 25 - About the reliability of the prime minister, a feuilleton should be written, for today only two examples.
The first is the fast road Crnča - Pljevlja - Goražde, the construction of which he announced at the end of last year, despite the fact that it was not foreseen in the Spatial Plan.
On March 4, Monteput announced a public call for the development of a conceptual solution.
On March 15, the government adopted the draft Spatial Plan of Pljevlja.
So, what's the problem now?
Well, in the fact that even in the belated draft of the plan, the above-mentioned expressway is not there at all.
- There will be expressways - the Prime Minister tweeted on Iks - when the conceptual solution is finished, it will be possible to add it.
And he will, one hundred percent...
Who cares that it is not normal for spatial plans to be adapted to individual solutions.
And that the order of moves in a normal country would be reversed...

Tuesday, March 26 - Uh, let me not forget the other announced piece of evidence, although it is on display in all large supermarkets as of today.
Prime Minister: 500 items will be cheaper!
Government: Lower margin for 43 products!
So much for the Prime Minister's reliability...

Wednesday, March 27 - I have nothing to say about the state's trust that Boris Raonic will turn TV Jusovac into a national media service.
Especially not after that scandalous behavior in the duel with Goran Đurović.
I know, of course, that Marijana Camović-Veličković was also insulted yesterday.
But she was not (only) insulted by Raonic.
Rather, all members of the Council who illegally elected him.
And the MPs who still support those members.
And the Government, which is not even interested in the violation of legal, let alone moral norms.
And all the prosecutors who have been silent for months on flagrant disrespect and non-execution of court rulings.
And - last but not least - all RTCG journalists who didn't protest even today!
