THE DRAGON HUNTERS

Red Krapo and the Black Democrats

The guys from Montenegro are assisting Vučić at a private parade, thus imagining a Serbian world extending to Karlovac, Karlobag, Virovitica. Or at least to the new line drawn in the retreat - Banja Luka, Herceg Novi, Berane, Prizren. Sanak Pusti

Krapović declined the invitation, no one from the Ministry of Defense and the Army of Montenegro participated in the military parade, for understandable reasons - "respecting the entire historical and regional context", as well as "the special sensitivity that this topic carries in Montenegrin society". You wonder why this happened when Krapović accepted the invitation and participated in Vučić's military parade through two high-ranking officers of the Army of Montenegro?!

It's not a play on words, but a simple fact - at the end of July, the "red" minister Dragan K. and his black party announced with great fanfare that they had proudly rejected the invitation of official Zagreb for a military parade, only to honorably announce a month and a half later that they accepted Vučić's call for a similar event. Both of these explain the words of the minister himself, or rather his department - taking into account the entire historical and regional context, as well as the special sensitivity that this topic carries in Montenegrin society.

The historical and regional context of the red minister and his black party is not explained, but it should probably mean the following - Croatia and Serbia are our neighbors, Croatia is a member of NATO and Serbia is not, Croatia is a member of the EU, which we also aspire to, while Serbia only jokes about it, Croatia has never attacked Montenegrin territory throughout its centuries-old history, and Montenegro has attacked its territory, several times, just as Montenegro has never attacked or occupied part of Serbian territory, while Serbia has attacked its territory, several times. Words are a wonder. What they hide and explain.

So, if we start from these undeniable facts, related to the "regional and historical context", the logical conclusion would then be that the Government of Montenegro, the Ministry of Defense, the red minister and the black parliamentary majority should have sent two high-ranking officers to a military parade in Zagreb rather than in Belgrade. But, the opposite happened. And as expected.

Another interesting detail is the "regional context" that Krapović referred to when he rejected the invitation from neighboring Croatia. Namely, among students in Serbia, the local opposition, independent media, but also among European experts on the Balkans, some MEPs, there is an undivided opinion that Vučić's military parade is in fact a private and party plot, created to save the last autocrat from the former Yugoslavia and his corrupt, now bloody regime. "You wanted to appropriate the flag for political purposes, we returned it to the people. You wanted to appropriate the anthem for political purposes - we returned it to the people. You wanted to appropriate the army for political purposes, we will return it to the people. The army is not private and personal, the army is the people's," said the students in the blockade on the eve of the parade, but Krapo does not believe in tears. On the contrary. "We would like to inform you that the Ministry of Defense and the Army of Montenegro will be represented at the parade in Belgrade by two officers of the General Staff of the Army of Montenegro," the Ministry of Defense announced. In this way, the Minister, the Army of Montenegro, the Chief of General Staff and their red-black party sided with the first family of Serbia and the army of its supporters.

The fact that Vučić tried to use the parade to threaten his neighbors with some kind of military force, supposedly built to defend Serbia from an imagined enemy, seems tragicomic, and I'm not even mentioning it as some shameful aspect of the aforementioned Krapović decision. AV managed to disintegrate Serbia more than Milošević, to make it smaller and weaker than it was in 1999 after the "war with the world", and only thanks to cads like Dodik, Mandić, Knežević, and now Krapović, Bečić, Methodije, Porfirije, and the like, AV can pretend to dream of some kind of Serbian unity and strength.

By comparison, in the case of Croatia and its military parade, which was "honorably" boycotted, the "regional context" was completely different. In Zagreb, no one is beating, breaking or arresting, canopies and corruption are not killing people, the opposition and free intelligentsia are not seeking justice on the streets and through protests and bloody confrontations with the rotten and violent regime, but rather the debate about the rule of law and independent institutions is being conducted in parliament, the media and in public appearances.

Also, none of the Croatian officials, neither Plenković nor Milanović, presented the parade as a demonstration of the strength and military power of Croatia, organized and ready to defend all Croats in the world, because that would then include the Croats in Boka. Just as Vučić encourages "log revolutionaries", from Banja Luka to Botun and Prizren, to count on his force if necessary!

Analyzing further the reasons that the red minister and his black, or rather, discredited party, gave in the explanation for rejecting Zagreb (but not Belgrade), perhaps one more "argument" remained - "the special sensitivity that this topic carries in Montenegrin society". Although Krapović did not cite any public opinion poll that shows the aforementioned "special sensitivity", he probably meant "Storm", an armed action that official Zagreb inherits as a liberation, because after four years of occupation of various parts of Croatia, with "Storm" its territory was finally placed under the control of its own armed forces. And therein lies the catch. The "special sensitivity" of the red minister and the black parliamentary majority is not the result of their sympathy or suffering over the persecution of the Serbian population from Krajina and Slavonia, which was also a consequence of "Storm", because the policy that they inherit to this day, the tragic page of Milošević from the 90s, significantly participated in the exodus of the vast majority of Croatian Serbs from their homes. Krapa, Mandu, Alek, Metodije and the other čacije and pipun are actually frustrated by something else - a sovereign and internationally recognized Croatia, within its Avnojev borders.

The sinister and anti-Serbian policy of the "black hand" that has been satirizing Serbia and the region for more than a century still does not accept the fact that they lost all four insane wars they fought in the decade of 1990-1999. The Democrats are in fact the original SNP, the newly formed PES is close, not to mention the ultra-black ZBCG - all of them have never and will never condemn Milošević, the priests and the cannons for fighting four wars, but for losing them. And just as the same tragic and anti-Serbian narrative has been tripping up Serbs for hundreds of years by celebrating defeats as victories, so it is today. The lads from Montenegro are assisting Vučić at a private parade, thus imagining a Serbian world to Karlovac, Karlobag, Virovitica. Or at least to the new line drawn in the retreat - Banja Luka, Herceg Novi, Berane, Prizren. Sanak let go.

Since the red Krapo and his black party did not give a precise and significant explanation for going to Vučić's parade, the announcer Mandić made an effort to do so. The formational and political head of the Montenegrin expedition in Belgrade. He pointed out that he and MK, the leaders of the current government, are "especially proud of the fact that two officers of the General Staff of the Army of Montenegro attended today's parade, because in this way the glorious common military history and tradition of Serbia and Montenegro was once again witnessed"!

So, the shame and disgrace of Montenegrin history of the 20th century, which Mandić and his followers have been trying to cover up and turn into a victory for years and decades, is now reaching its culmination. The Battle of Mojkovac, the persecution of King Nikola, the occupation and disappearance of Montenegro, the destruction of the autocephalous church, World War II and the collaboration of the Chetniks with Hitler - all of this has now become part of the heritage of the Black Democrats, PES, the Bosniak Party and part of the Albanian parties that participate in the majority, under the command of General Mandić. All of them, therefore, believe that there is neither a regional nor historical context, and even less sensitivity of this issue for Montenegrin society - so as not to go to Vučić's feet. And to his private parade with which, as the students said, after the state, institutions, and flag, he tried to take away the army from the people.

The result of the disastrous policy of speaker Mandić and his majority, which in just three years, since 2022, has divided and humiliated Montenegro as much as DPS has in the previous three decades, is the first serious protest rally, the one in Brčeli, from which the prominent businessman Jovan Lekić said: "And that is why we are here today to tell everyone, and especially the Serbian Orthodox Church, that we are indeed there and that we will defend ourselves, but also that we want to live in peace and love with national Serbs, but NOT with Greater Serbs - who are haters of everything Montenegrin, and who do malice and evil to both. Montenegro will not disintegrate, nor will we renounce God. Neither the tricolor of King Nikola, nor the Cyrillic alphabet, nor Duke Mirko, nor any church and monastery that we must go to and show whose they are!"

Although the message is addressed to Porfiry, Joaniki, Metodij, Milošević's priests and cannons, it should also be listened to carefully by the current political elite and government. Because such humiliation and an attempt to dismantle the state can only come back to them like a boomerang. If they don't believe it, let them ask Đukanović.
