It is said that the octopus parts saw potential in Milojko, while in the fall of 2023 he was looking for support for the government from all sides. The party leadership was weighing whether he needed another adventure after the failed relationship with Dritan, but the field workers saw a talent in Miki that needed to be invested in. He may not be a razor and he doesn't have Sveto and Momir, but he reminded me of the boss. He promises easily and forgets even more easily and, most importantly, he knows how to make money.
Then another person took over as prime minister, and in less than two years he showed that the octopus had something to complain about.
Because the yuppie prime minister continued a political tradition that had been built for almost three decades, even though it was not required of him. He swore in reforms and the rule of law, and in practice he adhered to the customs of the nineties according to which you first sit in an armchair and kiss the flag, and then you pimp the state. For a pittance, you offer it to domestic smugglers and white-collar businessmen. Let them spend your homeland, while you count money and feed your voters with animations of hills and valleys.
That's why Milojko now has a chance to realize the dreams that the octopus failed to achieve even in its greatest post-referendum strength.
A few decades ago, the father of the nation and the philosopher from Budva were inviting sheikhs to the sea foam, but only Miki managed to make those dreams official with a signature and state seals. While they were selling Montenegro to the Russian winners of the transition who grew up in the KGB, the young prime minister gathered crypto-brothers on the coast who turn money in two clicks. He is not raising Chinese loans that will be paid by the great-grandchildren of today's voters, but is looking for investors allergic to tenders. Who are ready to be the guardians of Montenegro for at least a century. After all, while the Montenegrin flag flies on the Burj Khalifa, no one can take it to Čačak.
That's why technicalities are not important, as long as there is good intention in the Government. It's not every day that sheikhs pass through Montenegro ready to rent a beach for 30 billion. Nor is it easy for them to keep their attention, because on the way to Hvar there are many outstretched hands looking for investors. So when such an investor notices you, it's not the time to fuss about tenders and the opinions of local governments. Tender is certainly just a word and nothing more, and local governments are perishable goods. There's no need to ask ministers for their opinions, when they've already staged so many WhatsApp government sessions and personnel changes. Nor should you listen to coalition partners who are now pretending to be the SDP in government.
We have a historic opportunity before us, and it's not just someone who has swallowed a rusty nail who sees it. We have a real customer for the few remaining family treasures we haven't sold yet.
These are not some shady characters we've seen enough of, but investors with no fringe interests. They are ready to bring order to the beaches ruled by organized crime groups, hipsters and kitesurfers. They will use their own money to build hospitals and airports when various prime ministers have failed to lay even the pre-election cornerstone. They will make the Old Town more beautiful and restore the ramparts that were crumbling due to illegal construction and an incompetent government. Instead of the government, Arabs will build wide boulevards that will save you hours of travel from Štoje to the center of Ulcinj. They will rent out the entire Velika Plaža as a deck chair and drive the tomato tourists to Šušanj and Šenđin. And the people of Ulcinj will be able to work as maids and swim at Pristan, until the beach is returned to them in the next century.
That's why Milojka shouldn't be threatened with prison and asked ambassadors to annul the historic agreement. Instead of forcing the prime minister to hit himself on the forehead, it's better to provide blank support or trust him as minority ministers. They know that they need to play on the Arabs and the young prime minister who talks about investments from the Emirates like they used to about salaries of a thousand euros and stopping inflation. We should trust the guy who has no other citizenship than Montenegrin and has never seen Do Kwon. Who provided us with a billion euros from Japan and will not put us in debt again.
As long as Montenegro has such sons, there will be no shortage of interested investors. It can be refreshed a hundred more times, but there will always be leaders with godfathers, brothers and uncles for whom we will sell everything that has no price. So when Ulcinj becomes the Balkan Dubai, we can rent the Black and Skadar Lakes, Prokletije, Hajla and the remains of Boka for good money. May the north flourish as a seaside, and Montenegro become the first confederation of foreign investors.
When you dream such dreams, the beach is just the first step.
