Although Great Britain has left the EU club, I assume that Mandić and Knežević, in the Europhoria that engulfed them, recognize the court and British reference institutions as authoritative, based on principles and not on DPS ideology. Which is the case with Minister Jakšić-Stojanović and Inspector Adžić. Therefore, the British Center for Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse states that in cases where the victim reports violence, "the institution or its managers first have the urge to protect themselves"! With which, they say, "even unconsciously, they protect the perpetrator, while the children are left with a feeling of betrayal, self-blame, loss of trust". Translated to the case of the Podgorica high school, the British formula explains the following: that the director Vučurović (the head of the institution) had the urge to protect herself first (that's why she remained silent for three years), which, knowingly or unknowingly, protected the perpetrator of the crime (Professor Čečović). And thus caused the victim (student Sara Vujisić) to feel betrayed and distrustful of authorities and institutions.
But research, practice and scientific works are in vain for the British. When the minister for space and Velje brdo Slaven R. knows better than them. "Full support to Biljana Vučurović for everything she did as a teacher and high school director"! With the conclusion that it is "a smart, hard-working and classy Serbian woman who successfully runs this elite educational institution"!
In vain, the British point to the disastrous consequences of the authorities' silence or indolent attitude towards reports of sexual violence, because next to Minister Slaven, a smart, hardworking and classy Serb, there is another example of his kind - Deputy Prime Minister Budimir Aleksić: "Director Vučurović did everything according to the law". Nothing about her three-year silence and relativization of the case, keeping the predator in the classroom, even his involvement in extracurricular activities of the students - Vice President Aleksić concludes that Vučurović "professionally and conscientiously performed the work of the director". Amen.
In vain, our CIN and the great Đurđa Radulović, the author of these texts, foreign and domestic experts complain that "covering up represents the greatest degree of irresponsibility not only towards the victim, but also towards society" because in this way "protection from sexual predators is denied, which is particularly problematic when they work with children". In response to all this, Vice President Aleksić announces punitive measures - not against the authorities who kept silent, but against those who don't think they should keep silent from the Ministry of Education. "As the Vice-President of the Government for Science and Education, I will raise this issue with the desire to work in education according to the law, and not according to the political wishes of people from the former regime, who unfortunately are still in decision-making positions, both in some ministries and in the educational inspection" ! That's why director Vučurović can relax - even though it's completely clear that she took more care to protect the institution she leads than the student who reported the crime. Not taking into account that the victim of violence, who confided in the most responsible address in the school, was denied an adequate response. Which, psychotherapists say, pushes into (self) isolation, suffering, causing the victim to feel shame, guilt, anxiety, sadness, depression.
And everything would have happened just like that, according to the quoted textbook recipe, if Sara Vujisić had not shown heroism and strength. And to the entire society, which cannot be proud of the libertarian tradition, except in folk songs, she showed what it means to be a smart, courageous and classy, brave and free personality.
In the weeks-long rant of Radunović and other smart, brave and classy Serbs who never make mistakes (as they present themselves, lest I impute something to them), no one has yet asked the question - what would have happened if the heroine Sara Vujisić had really succumbed. That, defeated by the silence of the authorities, primarily director Vučurović, she retreated into self-isolation, sank into suffering and guilt, that she regretted exposing the predator, that in the end she even started thinking about the worst?! Nothing!
Therefore, one big nothing would happen, to the satisfaction of our elite educational institution, Minister Radunović and other leaders of the current parliamentary majority. In the case of a big nothing, the gymnasium would be decisively directed by the smart, hardworking and conscientious Serbian woman Vučurović, while the students would be led on excursions and fairs by the respected and adored professor Radoman Čečović, a smart, hardworking and classy Montenegrin. At least that's how Minister Radunović labels it.
"Loss of trust in institutions can prevent the victim from seeking help and support and from fighting for justice," says psychologist Aida Perović and concludes: "Covering up sexual harassment and abuse in schools speaks best of our culture of silencing violence, which makes victims often think that they don't have the right to speak and that if they speak they will be labeled and stigmatized".
Quo vadis, Aida, when the current majority thinks otherwise. Andrija Mandić, their leader, spoke: "You have a predator and a victim, and all the attention of the public is focused on the director. We firmly stand by her"...
The frightening lack of empathy towards the victim of someone who presents himself as the guardian of the stability of the current Government and the majority. And who organized a deafening campaign where, as he obviously unconsciously admits, the public's attention was transferred from the victim to the director! The President of the Assembly, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister for Velje Brdo, the Member of Parliament and the head of the Committee for the Protection of Human Rights, began to defend the silence of the authorities, the educational institution and its director, pushing the suffering and tears of Sara Vujisić into the background. Inspiring thereby their numerous voters, classy and hard-working Serbs and Serbian women, to lynch the victim on social media and hidden behind nicknames, presenting her not only as ill-intentioned but also extremely suspicious. Because, well, he has a piercing. And not the rosary around the arm. And leading the victim to what the British Center explains - that harassed and humiliated children remain with a feeling of betrayal, thereby losing trust in society and authorities.
Brave Prime Minister Spajić, in whose yard this scandal is happening, is mostly silent. While with some irrelevant judge, Đuranović shows his teeth, leading a multi-day debate. Spajić minimizes the social tragedy exposed by the scandal in the Gymnasium, pushing the youth from his party and Minister Jakšić-Stojanović to deal with the spin and replacement of the thesis of the main coalition partner! Where the true victim of sexual violence is tried to be marginalized or even denigrated, while the director who empathetically remained silent for three years, or at best minimized the gravity of the heinous act, is imposed as the victim of the case. Only Sara Vujisić can be smart, hardworking and classy, everyone else is guilty or responsible. This is clear even to Mandić and Knežević, who irresistibly lead us to Europe, mocking all European values along the way. From anti-fascism to human rights. Thanks, of course, to the coalition partners and Prime Minister Spajić, who play useful idiots. And silently or with sporadic grunts, they agree to let Mandić tell them fairy tales about his Europeanness, based on the most European speech of Milan Knežević and the most European concert of Jelena Karleuša.
