Friday, May 2nd - Another Labor Day passes, the celebration of which, after the former regime timely laid the working class to rest, resembles more a memorial service than a celebration.
Correspondence with a friend I made in the first grade took me back to a time when the holidays still brought joy... Because of a new white blouse, the premiere of dancing in red sandals, and the opening of ice cream season...
And that was at Ždrebaonik, the only picnic destination our parents could afford for May Day...
Not because of the monastery of the same name, because back then both families and schools were normal enough not to force children into churches, and certainly not the church into them...
People went to Ždrebaonik for the holidays because of a meadow, big enough for all the students from Bjelovac to play and socialize for the day...
Despite the large crowd, the most severe form of peer violence on that meadow was fighting over play equipment, which was in short supply at the time...
But all this would be stopped in an instant by the authority of the teacher...
Behind which stood the authority of the educational system at that time...
And behind and above it was the authority of the state that created that system... And was equally dedicated to the upbringing and education of students...

Saturday, May 3rd - When I was little, I loved to recite the genealogy of my Jovanović family below Gradac...
Whenever someone comes to visit us, especially if my grandfather is there, I bow and start with him:
- Andrija Bojičin, Bojica Petkov, Petko Mirov... and so on up to twenty-something Raslo Pavlov, Pavle Lekin and Leko Dukađinski...
They didn't send me to kindergarten, adults in those days didn't deal with ethnic differences between Montenegrins and Albanians...
That's why neither the name nor the surname of the last person on the list gave me even the slightest suspicion that there was something wrong with the genealogy or that my ancestors were of Albanian origin...
When I - as they said back then in my homeland - grew up, I went to Belgrade to study the origins of people.
There, to my great regret, they convinced me that the Bjelopavlićs were ethnic Montenegrins. My mentor gave me an A for my thesis on that topic...
In 1980, Belgrade professors and the Serbian state authorities still cared about science...
And the science that tribes and nations are not born by myths with the help of priests, but by mothers with the help of fathers...

Sunday, May 4th - For this reason, I am not particularly concerned about the sermon of priest Pajsi about Serbian shrines in Duklja, in the presence of Serbian ambassador Nebojša, Serbian vests, anterijas and opanaks...
Those who should be concerned, not about the ruins of the Dukla temples, but about those that are still intact, are Montenegrins from the DPS and voters of that party.
Whose leader, unlike his communist predecessors, also handed over all the temples of the Montenegrin Church to the Serbian Church...
He could not do it with the Doclians, because the right of ownership over them was timely regulated by legal methods...
And also historiographically, because first-rate sources testify that the first foundation at Duklja was excavated almost two millennia - exactly 1.854 years - before the founding of the Serbian Church...
That is why this Doklja arrangement of the Serbian Moravian is not a problem of a legal or political nature, but above all - a medical one...
What worries me, however, is the health of the country whose government publicly admits that "the aforementioned event was held at a location for which there is no precise information about ownership"...

Monday, May 5 - I can swear on the life of Saint Peter that Jovan Mićović, in his capacity as metropolitan, certainly does not lack precise information about Pavle Đurišić as a war criminal...
I have long since stopped caring about that issue, but I have no doubt how sinister his admiration for such a criminal is on all three aforementioned grounds - legal, political, and medical...
True, I'm a little confused about what the metropolitan is more impressed with...
The tasks with which the "great hero of invincible character" returned from Dragoljub Mihailović's headquarters in late December 1941 as commander of the Lim-Sandžak Chetnik detachments...
Or the way he fulfilled those tasks over the next four years, especially the two most important ones:
- To begin the fight against the People's Liberation Movement as soon as possible!
- To implement the first Chetnik program document, which was certified by the signature of the aforementioned Mihailović!
“Instructions to Chetnik detachments in Montenegro”, that was the name of the document that basically described the basic goal of the Chetnik struggle:
- The creation of a greater Yugoslavia and within it a greater Serbia, ethnically pure within the borders of Serbia (with Macedonia), Montenegro, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Srem, Banat and Bačka (...) and the creation of a direct common border between Serbia and Montenegro, as well as between Serbia and Slovenia, by cleansing Sandžak of Albanian and Muslim populations and Bosnia of Croatian and Muslim populations - I have copied who knows how many times from a document that was made public more than half a century ago by Dr. Radoje Pajović, the best expert on Chetnik effectiveness in Montenegro.
On that occasion, I am troubled by one sub-question...
In the event that the recent spiritual and secular successors of General Draža officially issue a similar Instruction, would the amazed Jovan Mićović act the same as the one he admires, Pavle Đurišić...
And what does that have to do with anything?
And indeed, his "great hero of invincible character" did not carry out the order in principle, but the details of its execution over an extended period are terrifying.
So much so that in just one report, a copy of which is even available on the pro-Chetnik Wikipedia, Duke Đurišić boasts of slaughtering more than 10.000 civilians in Sandžak and the surrounding area...

Tuesday, May 6 - Because of this genocide, but also other crimes such as the shooting of youth in Lazine, the state of Montenegro declared Pavle Đurišić a war criminal just five months after the end of World War II.
The duties of the courts, for which there was no time to form them, were performed by the State Commission...
Eight decades later, Jovan Mićović, neither as a civilian nor as Metropolitan of Joanikije, should in any way be proud of either the "great hero" or his great crimes.
Whatever, that's why I no longer have the desire to ask him anything...
But I have a question for Milorad Marković: Why is the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office silent???
I know it's futile, just as I know what kind of response I might get if the Instruction on Breaking the Silence reaches the VDT building....
That the Criminal Code is not very precise regarding the glorification of war criminals, that reforms are coming, that Article 370 will be amended...
xxx
Wednesday, May 7th - This supplementary question will be useless, but let me just...
If, directly above Article 370, there is a (sub)title: Incitement to national, racial and religious hatred...
If any adult resident glorifies Pavle Đurišić, who admits in writing that, in the aim of creating a greater Serbia through ethnic cleansing, he killed more members of the non-Serb people and non-Orthodox faith in Sandžak and its surroundings than Ratko Mladić did in Srebrenica and its surroundings...
If public admiration for a criminal also implies admiration for his crimes...
Then it is also understood that it undoubtedly "incites violence or hatred towards a group or member of a group determined on the basis of (...) religion, origin (...) or nationality"...
Therefore, professionals in the prosecution should have no problem supplementing this amateur factual description...
They will not supplement it, just as those from whom they learned their craft not only never supplemented the hundreds of journalistic factual descriptions from "Monitor" and "Liberal" from the early nineties...
And they won't even try to compare the second paragraph of Article 370 with some other positions - e.g. on anti-fascism - of citizen Jovan Mićović in his capacity as metropolitan...
xxx
Thursday, May 8th - I hope at least the readers won't mind that I have to...
But no more about what is written in the Criminal Code...
But about a - admittedly drastically delayed - address by the Supreme Commander of the Yugoslav Army to the homeland...
Which, by the way, was already renamed the Chetnik Movement in June 1941, and a little later the Ravna Gora Movement was added.
On September 12, 1944, King Peter II Karađorđević, via the BBC, called on all inhabitants of Yugoslavia "to unite and join the People's Liberation Army under the command of Marshal Tito."
"To our people's army, which is unanimously recognized by our great allies Great Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States of America," is how he put it...
And then he specifically warned the Chetniks:
"All those who rely on the enemy against the interests of their own people and their future, who would not respond to this call, will not succeed in freeing themselves from the traitorous brand before either the people or history!"
That's it for today...
And about the young major as a war criminal and Jovan Mićović as a metropolitan...
Both from King Peter and from me...
