New times – new habits

If these replacements of ours, and not the changes we so fervently desired, after 30 years of autocracy, achieve what they envisioned with Velika Plaža, Buljarica and Jaz – there is no chance. No more EU

According to Article 1 of the Constitution:

Montenegro is an independent and sovereign state, with a republican form of government. A civil, democratic, ecological, social justice state, based on the rule of law.

Montenegro today is not the republic of Slobodan Milošević, nor of his pawns whom he installed in the AB revolution.

Although Đukanović's dirty and bloody capital is still deeply involved, the only possible survival of this state is that it belongs to us - the citizens.

That is why we cannot defend ourselves with a declaration from 1991, written by the people of that regime – ten days before the attack on the demobilized UNESCO-protected Dubrovnik began.

That declaration is not legally binding, nor morally sustainable. It does not protect us – it protects the spirit of the past that led us to war, isolation and delusion. A fairy tale and a dream from which we will not wake up because we are good on the outside. And on the inside?

With all due respect to Dragan Hajduković – it's time to finally hammer the final nail into the coffin of the myth of the "world's first ecological state."

That country never existed.

At least not in Montenegro where we are:

– tarnished Tara and Durmitor,

– killed Lake Skadar,

– turned the Morača into a concrete mixer,

– dug riverbeds for free gravel,

– built empty apartments for 2k euros per square meter,

– wrote laws for the forestry mafia,

– we used aggregates to extract billions from the lake to buy votes and “social peace”,

– killed dozens of rivers so that little Blažo could have pocket money…

We cannot use old means against a new enemy.

Because the occupiers and domestic traitors today do not come with bombs, but with "capital investments" of dubious origin and even more dubious purposes.

This is a fight for a breathing Montenegro.

For a country that gives life, not profit.

For birds that fly across continents and for people who don't want to leave home.

The salt pan is not a protected area by chance.

Half of all 530 bird species that exist in the EU have been registered in its area.

Flamingos are just a symbol – over 100.000 water birds pass through here every year, and more than 15.000 stay here in the winter.

It's not just our heritage. It's the European ecosystem.

If this space is destroyed, the climate, flora and fauna of the entire continent will collapse.

That's why Chapter 27 is not bureaucracy. That's the essence.

This directly obliges us to protect nature, water, and air.

Without him - there is no Montenegro in the EU.

And that is a greater obligation than a declaration that someone pulls out of mothballs every few months. Especially if it is preceded by the deletion of bot profiles in which the most honorable and bravest women in Montenegro are attacked using UDBA methods. However, one cannot expect better from the third echelon of DPS in PES. After all, it is an original sin.

If, after 30 years of autocracy, these replacements of ours, and not the changes we so fervently desired, achieve what they envisioned with Velika Plaža, Buljarica and Jaz – there is no more chance. There is no more EU.

And then, let's be honest for once.

To consistently defend what we decide.

And not like this, phony, hypocritical, two-faced – forever on two chairs.

If they go after bodies – we will defend ourselves with bodies.

If they are moving towards the ground – we will defend it from the ground.

Because that's all we have. And it's irreversible. After that, we'll be strangers on Velika Plaza like we are on Sveti Stefan.

It's time to adopt a new strategy.

No rhetoric from 1991. No residue until 2025.

Only what connects us:

Dignity. Freedom. The earth beneath your feet.

HOMELAND, NOT PROPERTY!
