Five years have passed since the Democratic Party (deservedly) lost power in May 2012. Our future leader first became PPV, then several times prime minister, in just five years of power. Then he decided to, in addition to everything, become the president of Serbia, and preparations for a new phase began - for the second five years of his reign. It is the so-called four P phases: Prime Minister, President, Patriarch, Crown Prince. A fifth could be added Q: Colonel. But then I would have to hint at the third phase that will be met (by whom): The leader will become a marshal, a king, an emperor.
Let's dwell on the four P phases and recall the other five years of Milosevic's dictatorship. After years of wars in the former Yugoslavia and 'unprovoked sanctions', the phase of the five-year reckoning on home soil began: the liquidation of political opponents, dissidents, former friends and associates. I'm skipping all the demonstrations and the moment when Vulin was hard-hearted and didn't shed a tear, while the tanks were coming at the people and pouring ice water on them. That is less important but not irrelevant to the point: the reckoning phase. Of course, another war came, the one for Kosovo.
Everything that has been happening, and especially what has been happening in recent weeks, is the final preparation for a new phase of reckoning. And this is where my atheism enters into a serious crisis - I too often pray to myself that God will save us all from another five years of Vođa's rule. Because the Leader became the commander in chief, the aforementioned Vulin is the Minister of Defense, Gasic is the head of the BIA... and the opposition sleeps the sleep of the righteous.
We had the inauguration of Vođa in Vođa, and soon again something they called an inauguration, which was actually a show with singing and shooting. By shooting at all the seams of that greasy, tasteless, private Vođa party, where there was a mass of 'elite squads', known in the bazaar as 'Željkova lista'.
However, a few expensive bottles of wine earlier, the same Leader who forbade the media to publish that really normal thing, that he had remarried (the family situation of the man who leads the country concerns all citizens) - he accidentally announced a very intimate matter of Ana Brnabić - her sexual orientation , which does not concern all citizens. Bizarrely, as everything in Serbia has been for a long time, we first learned that our new minister will be gay, then that this gay woman is a woman, and only finally who is that woman, what she has done in her life and which department she will lead. Now Ana is our prime minister and I was among those who immediately said that she is just another puppet of the Leader. I made a mistake, but I will say a few words about it at the end, before the prayer.
Let's move on, not necessarily in chronological order. The accused for the murder of journalist Slavko Ćuruvija were released from custody by court decision, and they were placed under house arrest with electronic monitoring. Experts say that this is the preparation of the public for the acquittal. The journalist of the Corruption and Crime Research Network - KRIK, Dragana Pećo, had her apartment ransacked and nothing stolen. Preparation for a showdown with investigative journalists or a warning to henchmen not to accidentally change their minds? Journalist Dejan Anđus was arrested on charges of extortion, and he is a man from Vođa's ranks, so this is also a preparation for the final showdown among his own. Not because of the act of arrest itself, but because of the way in which the news was distributed, along with the recordings and the statement of the Minister of Police, from which we can conclude that the man was not only accused, but also convicted.
There is more: after ten years, the lawyer is asking for a retrial of the murderer Ivan Stambolić and the assassin of Vuk Drašković. The construction inspector was detained while trying to determine who and why was carrying out unreported works in front of the house where the Minister of Police lives. The "Savamala" case was transferred from the High to the Basic Prosecutor's Office, as a preparation for the fact that nothing actually happened and that the phantoms were just appearing to us. Or, on the other hand, he is preparing to appear to us more often. The workers of Goša announce a hunger strike, and the Minister of Education announces the dismissal of 1200 educational workers. And that's not all, but who would have remembered everything in the last two weeks.
But this will not be forgotten: the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed us that Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić handed over the transcript of her interview to the American agency Bloomberg to the Russian ambassador Cepurin, and that it was misinterpreted in the statement that Serbia will opt for the EU and not for Russia. if she had to choose. The entire Serbian public was in "disbelief" because of this humiliation of Serbia. The moment I read this news, I thought it was News. All the news from Serbia seems to be made up. Because why would the prime minister of a country justify himself to any ambassador, let alone the Russian one? She didn't make excuses, she says. But she does not dispute that she submitted the transcript. Separate from this extraordinary depravity of the prime minister is the issue of interview authorization. Of course, that interview had to be authorized. That's why, among other things, those circus fire eaters are funny. Here I am looking for news that says that the Prime Minister resigned because of her actions, but there is none.
And that's why I admit, I was wrong. The Prime Minister of Serbia is not a marionette, an ikebana, a doll, she is not a ficus. She is a knowing accomplice in the Leader's disastrous enterprise. And I believe that she did not justify herself to the Russian ambassador. That would be extremely stupid and she is an intelligent person, on the Leader. I appreciate that this duo felt that they would outsmart the 'Western blackmailers' and the traditional 'Russian expectations' - if they staged a play of handing over transcripts, which everyone would condemn as justification. Just let those from the west, and those from the east, see what can happen. If they feel like it. To them, the owners of Serbia.
At the same time, while the mentioned events are going on, Željko Mitrović, day after day, writes Open Letters. I don't know what it is preparation for, but it is for something. Do not underestimate Željko Mitrović, no matter how much you laugh or cringe at his letters. I am interested in reading only one that will follow at some point: An open letter to Aleksandar Vučić. Because after that letter, the four P phases will come to an end or we will enter the third phase overnight, so whoever survives will talk.
And here is the crisis of atheism, I pray to myself.
