Finally someone announced the program for celebrating Independence Day. It is not known whether it is a state or separate program of President J. Milatović. It came out of his office only in the form of announcements! It would be better if he was in shape. publications so that we know the timing of the event, but rather so that we can guess what will happen, if it happens? However, most of the leaders of Montenegro are not keen on celebrating big dates, they are barely able to mark them. The historic day is on the doorstep, and everything is still in its infancy. But, the announced program is at the level of school ideas and knowledge about Montenegro. From the announcement it is clear that the Announcer probably knows nothing about the foundations of Montenegrin Sovereignty.

The first pillar of the Sovereign Bridge was built by Vojislav in 1042 as the founder of the Vojislavljević dynasty. After the victory at Tuđemil, the greatest empire of that land, Byzantium, had to recognize him. He defeated it three times in a row. The second pillar was erected by his son King Mihailo, when he was crowned by Pope Gregory VII. The third pillar is Constantine Bodin, who won the largest kingdom of his time, in the Balkans. Balša III also had his own pillar, but it was demolished by the Montenegrins. On his deathbed, he obliged them not to surrender to Venice, against whom he had fought for years! Only 15 days after his death (1421), Venetian flags were flying in all the cities of Zeta and Montenegro. Even then, the "merchant" Montenegrins, with bribes, estates, soldiers and positions, captured themselves in a foreign land... and still do today.

If they knew (and they have no idea), today's rulers would also recognize the establishment of the state printing house on the Rim in 1493 as a sovereign sign, because only the Independents stamp books in their own printing house.

The Battle of Martinići entered the celebration of May 21st, almost as an oversight. There is no flaw in that victory, but it must be treated in tandem with the Krus, which confirmed the strong union of Montenegro and Brda, under St. Peter of Cetinje. Mahmut Pasha Bušatlija, a fierce opponent of Montenegro, had his head taken from Krus to Cetinje. On that occasion, Sultan Selim Emir Khan issued an imperial decree from Istanbul. He sent it to St. Peter of Cetinje, and it was published by the Paris The Contemporaries (Contemporaries), considering our saint a European statesman and the Battle of the Krusas a European victory. The firman states, among other things, that: "We, Selim Emir Khan, ruling from heaven to earth, from East to West, emperor of all emperors, make it known to our provinces neighboring Montenegro that Montenegro has never been under the rule of our Sublime Porte!" Bušatlija was also an opponent of the Porte, because he wanted to plant his own "stambol" in Shkodra, and the Saint of Cetinje planted it for him. So, again, sovereign recognition from the empire, from the location of Constantinople, where Byzantium once reigned. But even this evidence, to this government, does not deserve to be even evoked on May 21st. Let's skip Grahovac, Vučji do, Fundina, and even the Berlin Congress, which confirmed everything and established Montenegro as a state of the world! For our leaders, divided by party, even that is not enough.

Still, there will be drama with a serious plot, on the eve of the 21st. The President of the country intends to present "a specially created 'Order of Montenegrin Independence' to individuals who, through their actions, have made a special contribution to the restoration of statehood." To whom? The question now is? This is where he may stumble. Some who deserve it he may bypass, and some would not even accept it from his hands?

PS If anyone deserves the title "Order of Independence", it is the name of Vojislavljević. They deserved that right more than anyone else. They were the first to establish the Bridge of Independence for the Ages. That is why 21. May First of all, the anniversary of the Vojislavljevićs, with whom this story begins. To this day, we live in the country and state that they gave us, and won international statehood. All other dynasties and post-dynasties have only defended that centuries-old legacy of the Vojislavljevićs. To this day, we have only paid the Vojislavljevićs one debt for their services, but we have not yet completed it. Today's leaders of Montenegro will not even reconcile a dead end.
