Amateur mistakes? This is how the prime minister explains and calls some moments in the behavior of his important officials. I'm afraid there is too much amateurism here to talk about failures. Or too many omissions to talk about - amateurism.
So, the question is whether this is the right word for what the prime minister is talking about. It is clear that much of what is around us, when it comes to the current government, is classic amateurism, but I am afraid that here specifically (and we are talking about "forgetting" the Montenegrin flag during a visit to Serbia) what is actually on the scene is harsh professionalism. The one who does it knows what he's doing and that's why he does it.
In this type of activity, we are talking about top professionals. So the Prime Minister's qualification about "amateur lapses" is extremely inadequate. Amateur, so to speak...
And only the way in which Ibrahimovic (there are guards everywhere, there are guards everywhere, he agrees with everything) does his best to help his unexpected and new allies: as he reminds his own to take care that the flag is always there. A principled politician, you can see that right away. But this is actually a way to minimize the damage, to present the intention as less deliberate and as malignant as possible, essentially.
The truth is, I'm afraid, somewhat simpler. It's usually always like that.
This flag is not just a protocol detail, a mere ornament of good political education, but much more - a clear sign of what is not accepted and disliked. And in Montenegro, you have a consciousness that shies away from any form and meaning of Montenegro. Do you remember when the president of the parliament could not get over the public's congratulation for the national holiday?
The absence of that flag is a clear position. It's just that the prime minister pretends not to see it. Or that he sees it as an amateur mistake.
If he thinks that this is a good, healthy environment for the European path, then he is an amateur, and the saddest one on the entire political scene.
Or, maybe his attitude towards the truth is really quite amateurish, if the president is to be believed, but also his eyes, his calculator...
Isn't playing with numbers the way the prime minister does dangerous amateurism? Spajic. His version of the golden one Misovo rules of architecture Less is more in economics it becomes an insult to common sense.
Isn't it amateurish in this way to trivialize and parody the European idea in Montenegro?
Because what else is it but a parody (and an amateur mistake) if you base your political project on the European perspective of Montenegro and then put the levers of the European path in the hands of those who are ready to do anything just to stop that path, first of all because they are ideologically on a completely different, to the other party.
Today's Montenegro is paying the price for such amateurism. And its European future. It is a cruel punishment for a society.
Is it possible to introduce Montenegro into the EU with a part of the government that does not want it, or at least does not want it before Serbia is in a similar situation.
A whole set of serious questions is covered by this extremely benign qualification of amateurish lapse. Can't the prime minister's political partners love Serbia in any other way than at the expense of Montenegro? Are they Serbs or Vucic's vassals? This is an extremely important question. I guess it is Amphilochius was a Serb, and I don't remember that he really liked and appreciated Vučić.
In any case, let's return to the current amateurism: if Europe is now 2 elementary frauds (and from the beginning, one would say), the European path in the hands of anti-European politicians is just fraud squared...
Maybe the prime minister is, above all, a victim of amateur self-deception? Remember, it's been going well for him since he appeared - what he believed (and said, giving the public a firm belief) about himself, then it turned out to be something else. Still, he seems to be the first amateur in this amateur operetta...
