Friday, January 17 - What was that in parliament yesterday... And I was convinced that the hypocrisy of European officials could not be below the rock bottom of the early nineties and the Serbian-Montenegrin aggression against Bosnian-Herzegovinian civilians...
The European Community, that was the name of the organization that brought together most of the current members of the European Union. And it was dedicated to the Balkans just as sincerely, wisely and courageously as it is today...
With the difference that the consequences of European hypocrisy were literally deadly at the time. During the 1.425 days of the siege of Sarajevo and the killing of around 11.000 civilians, including more than 1.600 children, Europe tried to prevent the greatest war crime since World War II - with appeals for peace...
Three decades later, in peace, the EU's identical behavior towards Montenegro and its neighbors is deadly only in a political sense. Or at least I hope so, because with wars in the Balkans, you never know...
Let me not dwell on the distant past and what the European powers, with American help, did to Montenegro, this forcing into the community of European states will bring us enough darkness...
A sudden and sudden move, just like we were forced into NATO seven or eight years ago. The consequences, however, will be much different...
After being forced into a military alliance, only the state remained, and that in principle...
The entry of such an unprepared, incompetent, disorganized and frivolous state into a civil alliance - whose weakest members we lag behind by at least thirty years - will have very concrete individual consequences...
For starters, all Montenegrin youth who care about freedom, justice, equality, and especially the long-awaited better life - will go across the border...

Saturday, January 18 - I mentioned borders and remembered a true anecdote from the post-war beginnings of socialism... When the head of state was Blažo Jovanović, a wise and responsible politician who regularly visited even small remote villages...
Well, the president came to my Jovanovići one day, below Graca, to talk to the locals...
- How does one live in a cooperative, can one... - that's how he asked my grandfather.
- It's possible, comrade Blažo, even if Spuž was still under the Turks, no one would be left on this side of the border - Andrija Bojičin was honest, as always...
Well, this story came to mind while I was watching the congress of admiration... And it was mutual, it was hard to determine whose face was more radiant, the guest from the European Union or the host from the Montenegrin parliament...
And I'm not surprised by the hosts, Montenegro has always lacked politicians who uphold dignity, both its own and theirs...
Despite the fact that European officials judge our country after meeting it in person, Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos managed to surprise me...
Is it realistic that, after decades of admiration - even if sometimes not sincere - for the leader of the former regime, Europe is now imposing this on us as an ideal alternative...
Chauvinists who are older than a fox, liars and fraudsters who in all Western countries would have long been either under investigation or in a medical boarding house, and unfulfilled local athletes for whom the security services are the highest reach of democracy...
It's true, even if it weren't for this imposition, Montenegro wouldn't deserve anything better... As long as 80 percent of the population is looking forward to the so-called accelerated path to the EU, knowing that the unfortunate Ukrainians are paying for that acceleration...
And that it is not human to hope for happiness on someone else's misfortune, because the promise of joining the European community will only last as long as Putin massacres the Ukrainian...

Sunday, January 19 - Thanks, no need, when we waited 35 years, we can wait a few more, any decent country would say...
But Montenegro is far from that...
And her government is far more hypocritical than all 27 of those she wants to be in company with...
And that's why he can't put together two honest ones, not in two days, but in two months...
And that's why the entire Europeanism of the holy trinity - Mandić, Spajić, Bečić - fits into three sentences...
They know how to speak Persian...
They understand when something is said to them in English, one of them speaks it...
All three of them use three key cutlery tools for their meals, unless there's pork knuckle on the menu...
And two-thirds of adults believe that they can close 23 chapters in 25 months.
On average, every 27 days one...
And this after 13 years, plus 31 days, we failed to close any of those 25...
And when all this is combined with their performance on home soil in 14 months, the result is clear...
It is not only the aforementioned leaders whose solidarity on August 30th was overshadowed by the joint seizure of state and local offices that are to blame, but also those who elected them.
It would be fair for them to bear the consequences, but there is currently no legal way for the guild to jointly and severally pay the opponents...
It's a shame, because everything the tripartite coalition has done in 14 months can be summed up in three words: adoption of the IBAR law.
And it was done so haphazardly and so superficially that, not only afterwards but also during its adoption, representatives of the executive and legislative branches contritely admitted that they had made a mistake and that they would have to fix it...
They haven't fixed the laws...
But they continued to create chaos...
The security services are now used for mockery, the healthcare system for accelerated death, the education system for fostering party pets, the financial system for unsecured loans, the pension system for plundering money left to the state for safekeeping...
Haven't we made any progress?
We are, in hatred, spite and corruption, and especially in insulting our neighbors, fellow citizens and fellow citizens as soon as they dare to find fault with (even) this government...

Monday, January 20 - And that's why I was really happy today to hear the news that the Inspector General of the National Security Agency, Artan Kurti, has submitted an irrevocable resignation from the position to which he was recently reinstated by a decision of the Administrative Court.
I was just as surprised, although it's clear that he didn't do it because of the terror of useful idiots on social media, but because of the shameless persecution inflicted on him by their elected officials in the state government...
And I was pleased to read Kurti's press release, although he was too polite in stating that he "does not see himself as part of a security system that is significantly threatened and collapsed."
And that the reason for the resignation is "exclusively moral, civil and legal satisfaction" for the illegal dismissal.
And thank you Mr. Kurti for taking me back to those good old days, at least for a short while...
When Montenegro still resembled a normal country, and state officials still held onto their dignity...

Tuesday, January 21 - Unworthy of the office of a member of parliament was the whining in the Parliament today that pensioners will not receive the increase promised from January...
And that the so-called proportional pensioners will not receive those 450 euros...
And that the hospital in Bijelo Polje will not get three new operating rooms and an MRI.
And yes...
Let me not list all the things that, not only today, the ruling party MPs have tried to scare both their own and opposition voters with...
- They lie, we know they lie, they know that we know they lie, but they still lie - I adapted for this occasion that statement by a high-ranking American envoy from the late nineties...
I can't think of anything smarter, although the lies of recent ruling politicians are much more similar to those spread by the then government in the early 1990s...
And, despite the fact that I support the opposition's protests in the state parliament and that I think that participating in the work of local assemblies makes no sense, for a moment I felt sorry that there was no one to ask at least one question...
Since temporary funding is so dangerous to the lives of citizens, who prevented the ever-larger Government and its ever-more numerous supporters in the Parliament from reversing the order of their moves and avoiding a work blockade...
And to adopt the budget on December 17th, the day of the unconstitutional dismissal of the Constitutional Court judge...
And the judges - once they are stuck violating the Constitution - declare the end of their term on December 31st, the day when every budget has been adopted for decades...

Wednesday, January 22 - If I could, I would have avoided last night's Reflektor too... Because of that lady whose name I forgot...
Forgive me, Aleksandra, but health is health...
As a good therapy for everyone who has fallen for the spread of panic over the unadopted budget, I recommend that they watch - or read on the Vijesti portal - everything Miloš Vuković said.
It's good to hear the truth...
PS It's not polite to recommend anything to the European Commissioner, she knows everything about the situation in the country and the Europeanism of her government. But I would like Marta Kos to cancel that climb to Bobotov Kuk with Andrija Mandić if Montenegro actually joins the European Union during her term. Yes, it's twice as many kilometers to reach the highest peak in Russia, but if she chose him as a companion, then Elbrus is drastically more suitable...
