May Serbia live forever, said Miloš Vučević, the new Serbian Prime Minister, which does not bode well, judging by Montenegrin experience. For us, namely, the car went downhill or into the past instead of the future, when the champions of DPS and their satellites, some of our people from Vucevic, started to end their speeches and retorts with a similar slogan - let Montenegro be eternal.
Serbia has reached today's point, without the sea it had for so long, as the newly minted prime minister rightly notes, but not because of the so-called Vojislav Koštunica, who only added a pebble to that mosaic, but because of the founder of politics in the nineties. Then the Serbian political and intellectual elite, with the full support of the Serbian Orthodox Church, instead of democracy and membership in the EU, chose the Greater Serbia project, an anti-European and, as it turned out, an anti-Serbian concept of a camp where all the Serbs of the world were supposed to live, as the young believed and dreamed at the time. activist of Šešel's party, and now Prime Minister of Serbia Miloš Vučević.
The discussions and retorts of the new Prime Minister of Serbia show that even after three and a half decades and four lost wars, in which Vučević's Serbia did not even participate, officials in Belgrade do not understand why, instead of an exit to the sea, they actually need an exit from a decades-old anti-civilization tunnel.
Because if Miloš Vučević had jumped out of that detour, or the most tragic stage in Serbian history, he would have known that Serbia lost access to the sea in 1991 and not in 2006, when Montenegro broke away. Before the Serbian leader SM seduced the Serbs with the story of how they would finally live in the same country, Serbia had access to the sea for over a thousand kilometers. From Portorož to Ulcinj. So that the Serbian access to the sea would begin to be shortened dramatically! What Miloš Vučević didn't see because he probably wrote graffiti like "Serbia to Tokyo" as a high school student or just threw flowers at the proud tanks and the bare-handed army and volunteers who went to sea. That's how Slovenia left in a few months. And with it the Serbian Portoroz, Piran and Kopar.
Then with men and howitzers, much more thoroughly, they moved to Croatia, where Vučević's leader and ideological leader until today, Vojislav Šešelj, drew the border - Karlovac, Karlobag, Virovitica. That after three years of aggression, with many victims, Serbia would lose over 600 Croatian islands, among them Hvar, a favorite destination of the citizens of Belgrade. As well as 700 kilometers of access to the sea from the land side. It did not occur to Miloš Vučević or his head of the AV to raise their voice then, like the other day in the Parliament, and to call out the leader Milošević for leaving Serbia without access to the sea that they had for so long.
After Croatia, it was already too late to save this small piece of sea, from Debeli Brijeg to Ada Bojana. The insane and deeply anti-Serbian policy of Milošević, Ćosić and Šešelj, supported as ordinary infantry by Vučić, Vucevic Sr. and Mandić, drove away from Serbia all who could run, even the lazy and big-state (us and Russians three hundred million) inclined Montenegrins. Serbia was thus left not only without access to the sea, but also without an eye in its head. Half-blind, then. But, unfortunately, it was all in vain.
25 years have passed since the last war in which Serbia and Milos Vučević did not participate, and the official political, ecclesiastical and intellectual elite of Belgrade wander along the blind track of history, just like that Kovačević bus from the legendary text (and movie). Who's singing there.
Just as Vučić and Vučević did not realize in 1989, after the fall of communism and the demolition of the Berlin Wall, that Serbia, like most of the other countries of the Eastern Bloc, should run into the arms of the West, i.e. democracy, free individuals, strong institutions, independent media - the same is true today. even though decades have passed, the officials of the neighbors are not clear where their country belongs and what is the direction of movement. That's why they have been sitting on three chairs for 12 years - Kobayagi is advocating for Europe, and under the table they keep their fingers crossed for its disintegration so that then the community of independent states of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other "flats" can be approached in peace. Instead of the European path, it is once again wandering through some new Serbian world, dreaming of a big state again, which Prime Minister Vučević himself honestly admits when he says that "Serbia would have defended Kosovo more easily if it had not lost Montenegro". In other words, if today "we had access to the sea, it would be much easier to get what we need to get"!
But I am not surprised by Vucevic. However, he is a second-rate player in the big game led by master Vučić. Billions of investments and an economic tiger in the Balkans are in vain for him, when he has set Serbia back in every other respect, so much so that today Belgrade radiates more toxic than in the 90s! And when it comes to captured institutions, and when watching merciless propaganda, and when listening to the Serbian assembly, and when analyzing what dialogue looks like in a society where the recent prime minister, along with a lady, regularly describes political dissenters, independent journalists and certain European politicians as liars, thieves and pigs. It turns out that Serbia has never been more truly radical and Seseljev than it is today, and that is its biggest problem - that it is far from a normal and decent society and not that it is far from access to the sea.
As long as the Serbian political and intellectual elite, as well as its church, do not realize that the strongest Serbia is the one that is democratic and not Serbia until Tokyo - no luck. Not to the Serbs, not to the neighbors.
And until that happens, the Serbian elite will be in conflict with the normal and democratic world, through their own fault. Hence the Resolution on Srebrenica in the United Nations and hence Kosovo in the Council of Europe and hence sovereign Montenegro, i.e. landlocked Serbia. Even though she had it for so long.
And that is why, in this exit to the sea, Šćekić, Mandić, Knežević and the other puppets of the official Belgrade who legitimize themselves as leaders and defenders of the interests of the Serbian people, in our country and in the world, were caught. Thus, one of them, otherwise the vice-president of the Government of DŠ, is surprised by the idle United Nations, which puts topics like Srebrenica and genocide on the agenda. Instead of Šćekić and the like wondering if Srebrenica would ever have happened if they, Mandić, Vučić, the father of Vucevic and the like (at that time, of course, Đukanović) had said a historic NO to Milošević in 1989?! Or at least to apologize to the Serbian people and neighbors for the tragedy that their policy brought to the entire region, the supposed defenders of Serbia and now, in 2024, repeat empty phrases from the 90s about the anti-Serbian conspiracy in the UN and the heavenly people crucified on the cross, from Golgotha to this day.
Or - if at the time of Milošević they were young, beautiful and stupid - that they had learned from that experience and said a historic NO to Vučić at least in 2016, when it became clear that his policy was not leading Serbia to the future, but to the past?! Into the imaginary Serbian world instead of the real and still alive and healthy EU.
It is simply unbelievable how Vučić and all his puppets do not realize that by denying or fabricating crimes from the recent past, they themselves are most to blame for the fact that the Resolution on Srebrenica came to the agenda of the UN. Dealing with the past, without whitewashing and falsifying facts and events, is the foundation of the modern world and civilization. While Serbian textbooks, state media and propaganda, public discourse do not see or even deny the fact that genocide took place, not only because it was qualified as such by the Hague Court but also because of the way it was prepared and executed, Šćekić, Mandić and Knežević will be confused and surprised! In the summer of 1995, in the enclave of Srebrenica, members of only one people, the Bosniaks, mostly civilians, children and the elderly, were systematically deported and - coldly liquidated. Over eight thousand of them in a couple of days. RTS, the public service of today's Serbia, refuses to even broadcast the Oscar-winning film Quo vadis, Aida, which clearly testifies to what is taught to young people in Serbian schools about Srebrenica and how genocide is qualified and treated in the media and the public.
And then Vučević and the company from Montenegro are surprised at the UN and the agenda.
Because of the Resolution, the allegedly pro-European and even more pro-American Prime Minister Spajić is uncomfortable, because Srebrenica does not multiply or add up, it has no percentage, and it is tied to the past and not the future, which only interests him.
Although he was small when the massacre took place, Spajić, as incredible as it may seem, is today the Montenegrin Prime Minister. And while he is in that place, he has no right to calculate, trade and try to make a profit in Srebrenica as well. It's not a hedge, not a crypto, not a highway. That's why, instead of favoring the supposed defenders of Serbs and Serbia by remaining silent, or making some kind of amendments in the announcement, he should answer them and explain how such a bizarre narrative serves the purpose of defending a regime and not a nation.
Because, nothing without facing the past. Just as the DPS with Danijel Živković has no future until it faces the immorality, corruption, crime and robbery committed by the former regime against its people and country - so Serbia with Vucevic has no chance of recovery until it faces the crimes that left many people without life, even more of them without homes, and Serbia without access to the sea. Which they had for so long. Another confirmation that nothing is eternal, my Vucevic. And mine to Živković.
