Season of shame: There is no work for timid leaders...

The last security hope of the so-called liberators was extinguished after only 33 days... The hope of 221.592 Montenegrin citizens that, instead of a "timid leader", they had a wise, brave and courageous President lasted a little longer...

Friday, January 30 - It was the greatest embarrassment of the first five-year plan: the last hope of security for the so-called liberators was completely extinguished after only 33 days...

An unlucky number, two millennia and a bit, for those who still believe that our earthly life is cared for by heavenly leaders...

For others, who are inclined to doubt as the birthplace of every science and every doctrine, there is a much simpler dilemma to worry about...

Are we all (were) so unlucky that Lazar Šćepanović, both at the Police High School and at the Faculty of Law, is absent from the very classes where he should have learned the most important lesson in police management...

There is no faith in parties, that's what the first lesson boils down to in a nutshell...

For the second one, which last night was less about the profession and more about personal decency, he could only get a straight A from me...

And that, if I were a capac, without the right to a reparation...

Because noise doesn't dispel the fear of facing facts...

And because he never, under any circumstances, allowed himself to utter (at least) one sentence:

- You can't run the show the way you want!

Unfortunately, he did say it...

And in such an unacceptable tone that, because it was uttered by the director of the Police Directorate, it sounded like a threat...

And such an (im)sound cannot be justified by the fact that everyone on that show has been shouting for a long time...

Because not all of them have armed forces behind them...

Petar Komnenić, as a member of the bare-handed force that was once known as the seventh, has only Načisto behind him. A show that he not only can, but must host in the way that suits him...

Because behind that TV privilege, which only columnists have in print media, stands more than a quarter of a century of journalistic experience...

Saturday, January 31 - Unlike him, the show's guest's experience did not help him stay within the boundaries of his profession in the TV studio, as he did in his premiere address to the public during last year's tragedy in Cetinje...

Once and never again, because in this last one(?) his statement was more political than police...

- Mr. Komnenić, the Police Directorate will never provide you with operational data - that's how he began...

And it's not a problem, let it be, the author of the show and its viewers will somehow survive without that operation...

The problem is that a country cannot survive in which such data is provided to politicians who, due to inter-party squabbles, provide it to the entire public at the same rate...

- Here is operational information: two officials of the Civic Movement URA, one of whom is today MP Zoran Mikić, and the then director of the Revenue and Customs Administration (Rade Milošević) are smuggling cigarettes on the orders of Dritan Abazović - just one of the deliveries is from the Minister of Police Danilo Šaranović...

And this in parliament, in front of the cameras, in the presence of the police director Lazar Šćepanović...

And it is completely irrelevant whether this unprovoked and - which is drastically more dangerous for the security of the state - unsubstantiated delivery occurred thanks to the police director or his associates...

Because determining guilt in the security services begins with command responsibility...

Sunday, February 1 - I don't know where to start in the sequel...

Maybe from the dialogue about the reasons why the police chief won't leave even after the latest(?) scandal...

- I won't resign, because if I did, do you know what would happen?

- What?

- Organized crime would shoot off fireworks from the Bemax building...

He did not explain how real the danger from fireworks is, especially in light of the fact that his former organizers from that company are staying at a boarding house in Spuž...

But he did announce something even less realistic...

- If I were to resign today, the honest citizens of Montenegro would be in a big problem!

Which I have reason to doubt, based on the former reality...

Much stronger, more famous and more respectable security spies - national heroes Savo Brković and Jovo Kapičić - fell into their hands, so the "honest citizens", not only of small Montenegro but also of large Yugoslavia, somehow got through it...

Šćepanović also had some doubts, this time about the "clumsily written ANB statement" with which he "disagrees"...

And then he explained why he thought the director hadn't even read it:

- Because he wouldn't let him go like that and because he's away and outside our territory!

He said nothing about the knowledge that the director of the Security Agency in the third decade of the 21st century has at least the most ordinary smartphone...

How fortunate he had remained silent about the continuation of the question about the missing Miloš Medenica...

- At no point did the High Court issue an order or issue a more repressive, restrictive measure in relation to this - he said.

It's better not to, because for two plainclothes police officers to walk around anyone's house, all that's needed is permission from the officer on duty at the local police station...

He also found it illogical that "the circumstances that the Police Directorate did not receive any intelligence indicating that this person was ready to flee"...

What's up, Medenica's son has only run away once so far, and Medenica's mother was prevented from trying...

And then, after the claim that "the police could not have known the outcome of the verdict," the last security hope of the coalition liberators definitely sank...

Whether this kind of situation would get the (former?) boss and her son, who was bossing criminals, the requested 20 years, was anyone's guess...

But the Montenegrin police, led by the director of its Directorate, were not the only ones who knew that there could be no settlement on the acquittal verdict - from Podgorica to Brussels...

Tuesday, February 3 - And, speaking of Brussels, as Andrija Mandić's best friend said...

A historic opportunity, a window has opened, we have a chance to see you in the Union during this mandate of the European Commission...

I'm here to acknowledge your achievements...

I will invest all my experience and energy to ensure you join as soon as possible...

Shared vision and teamwork is what I hope to see in this House. I hope to see the opposition as well...

That's what Marta Kos said...

And a year later, she could watch a historically unknown way of adopting the European acquis. But not through a window, as she announced, but through the wide-open doors of parliament...

Twenty-five laws in an hour and a half, less three minutes...

Comrade proletarians, is that even possible, the founders of the modern country of Comrade Kos - Kardelj, Kidrič and Rozman - are wondering in some heavenly circle. They are angry with Broz for having to argue about the laws on hunting and forest protection at least twice as long...

I'm angry now too, but at myself...

Because I have lived for fifty years in the belief that the Epistles of Saint Peter are the greatest written contribution to the unification not only of Montenegro and Brdo, but also of Boka and Sandžak...

And she was only reassured after seeing this keyboard unification of the opposition with the government...

And that's without reading...

Not the bills that are certainly not subject to amendment, but the laws that may be...

If changing the content is still not possible, changing the buttons is certainly possible...

So much for shame for this week...

Wednesday, February 4 - I have decided to return the laws adopted yesterday to the Parliament for reconsideration so that the MPs can actually read them - the President of Montenegro tried to remind the MPs of this possibility...

And it's a good thing he brought them back.

- European reforms do not mean a mere show of hands in the Parliament, nor the adoption of laws without debate and discussion - this is how he assessed...

And he judged it well.

- Citizens expect representatives to take a serious and responsible approach when passing laws that determine their daily lives - Jakov Milatović warned at the end.

And it's a good thing he warned them...

So what's wrong then? That he was in vain deciding, evaluating, and reminding...

Read it or not, they will vote on it again in six days...

Because the ruling majority has long stopped listening to warnings that before turning on the buttons, one should turn on the brain...

Thursday, February 5 - Uh, it's a good thing I didn't send this column on time either, otherwise I would have embarrassed myself tomorrow...

And I really will have to continue last year's boycott of the President after a short break...

What a shame after only about thirty hours...

Puj-pike, the decision to restore the law is no longer valid...

- I promulgated the laws because returning them to the MPs, with the expectation that they would read and seriously consider them, would have no effect - Milatović tried to clear his name in front of the public...

In vain... And there are every chance that the attempt of 221.592 Montenegrin citizens to have their country get a real President was also in vain...

To avoid the timid leader's business, I copied a lot of the path from that Mićunović who speaks and acts...

And what would someone who is not timid be like, I'll copy that from another book...

Brave, fearless, daring and daring - that's what it says in the Dictionary of Turkic Expressions.

And period!

Not copying from the right books, but writing about the (wrong) President...
