If you are wondering what the difference is between Felix Savona and Vladimir Božović, the former editor-in-chief of the IN4S portal on the one hand, and the founder of that media outlet on the other, the answer could be - the first is a boxing champion, and the second is a hockey champion. Or even clearer - the Cuban is a boxer, what else would he be in that unfortunate country. And the Serb is the founder of the media outlet - what else would he be "at a time when the political struggle for changes in society needed to be articulated".

I still have to answer why Božović is a top hockey player, much better than his former editor from IN4S - a boxer. Namely, many obstacles and opponents had to be bypassed, jumped over, run over, replaced, in order for the "puck" to hit the opponent's net. What happened after the liberation in August 2020 and the much-desired changes in society. "I don't have to remind you how challenging it was, or rather a difficult fight," Božović once confided to Vijest, evoking memories of the past work on the foundation of IN4S. After which the current rector gave up on the controversial portal. Our Sputnik. Flamethrowers and conspiracy theories. He gave up the life's work of his friend Gojko and editor Savon, to take over the University, where he fought for the necessary changes in a completely different way. Which turned out to be more than positive for the rectorate and the academic community. That's why the IN4S portal was sold the other day, tired and compromised. Gojko got some money, and Božović was left with memories of hard times.

So at the end of the saga of IN4S, as a "Chetnik chatterbox on Ustasha topics", one of the conclusions could be - people should deal with what they know best, and avoid what they have no idea about. Because, you must admit, it is a real shame that Vlado Božović did not take over the rectorate and the University much earlier - it would have been beneficial for education and the media, and thus for society as a whole. After all, if instead of some chatterbox, Ustasha or Chetnik, he had been running the University, he would have been hanging out with Baća and Pavlović, and not with some Savona and Raičević. The former of whom is a boxer, and the latter a Serb.

But let me get back to the topic. So, one of the oldest portals in Montenegro was sold the other day. Even more significant information is that no one reacted to this news. As if someone had been given a sack of potatoes, a shoulder of beef or that controversial mattress by Vasilije Čarapić. Political opponents of IN4S founders Raičević and Božović would immediately say that this silence is the best indicator of the marginality and minor influence of this portal, a clear sign that IN4S was not a media outlet but typical Chetnik, not Ustasha, chatter. Others, more objective, could conclude that essentially nothing has changed because it was "rattling" both before and after the sale, and Vučić's club remained. Only now the matter has been made official and formalized. But, even if all of them are right, doesn't the fact that one of the first portals in the country was sold deserve attention and analysis. The guy, to whom was it sold and why?!

The buyer is a certain Saša Blagojević, but Vučić's business and political elite, until 2017, when it was launched into orbit in the Serbian world much more seriously than Abazović's satellite Luča into space. Then Blagojević bought the tabloid Alo, along with Informer, the flagship of the OPG president AV, which was followed by the lightning growth of his propaganda empire. He soon became the owner of TV Studio B, then the radio stations Hit, Karolina, Lola, Jat, TDI, finally the portal Biz, Pogled and now IN4S. Nobody knows the man, there are only one or two of his photos on the networks, and even less is known about the origin of the money with which Blagojević became the media and propaganda mogul of Vučić's Serbia. Alongside honorable and honest, top journalists, as their boss AV would say, Mitrović and Vučićević. There was even a networking of brothers and the Serbian world, so DJV Informer became a co-owner in the empire of this Blagojević. Which would mean that Vučićević is returning to the scene of the crime, to our little, eternal one, through IN4S. The first time he came through Milo, now through Spajki.

I guess that's why there's such silence. No one from the government or the authorities has said a word about how the biggest polluters of the (social) atmosphere in the world, not just in Serbia - Alo and Informer - are entering our backyard through a back door. Or do Spajić and Bečić think they're here to raise our professional standards and reading literacy?! Everything that IN4S wrote about Ustasha chatterboxes, true after Rector Božović gave up on them, will be quickly forgotten when Blagojević, Vučićević, Milan K. and the Vučić brothers take matters into their own hands. One day, perhaps MK will tell us as the rector that his, Pipun's and not the rector's, effort in IN4S 2026/27 was an expression of his personal need to articulate a political struggle for change. "I don't think we need to remind you how challenging and difficult a struggle it was," Milan Knežević, the rector of the University, would say in 1938, emphasizing that he had given up on IN4S and DNP when he took over the rectorship.

Another important fact - the new owners of the IN4S portal immediately fired Gojko, thank him for all the captured Ustashas, ​​who were shot. Albanians and only lynched Montenegrins. A certain Tamara Ćalasan, who is not a boxer or a hockey player, but a DNP councilor in a local parliament, has been appointed editor-in-chief. She now faces a challenging task that the Chetniks were talking about Ustasha and Albanian mercenaries, transformed into a pro-European narrative of the DNP and the parliamentary majority about Montenegro's membership in the EU and brother Ricky Martin. All in a nutshell and from Lovćen. Not a step back.

Saša Blagojević has arrived, he is not Brent Sadler but he is not to be trifled with, and Montenegrin institutions are not even making a sound. The opposition is silent. Not even Miloš Nikolić, the unsuspecting spokesman for the Kavač clan, is speaking, and when he arrives, so is DPS. After all, what would anyone from DPS say on the subject without Jole or Krapović immediately jumping in with a retort - if you could import Beba, why couldn't we import Salet? Or even better - if you import Vučićević, why couldn't we import the same Vučićević? And they are right - all the most terrible deviations of Montenegrin society, which are destroying it and dragging it to the bottom, were founded by DPS and their Honorable. The Liberators of 2020 are now just copying and perfecting all of that.

And who then can, except for an ill-intentioned or hateful anti-Serb, accuse President Vučić of interfering in the internal affairs of his neighbors. And that his investor, some new dumbass, cheers to this Blagojević, is coming to Montenegro to spread European values, professional standards and media literacy. And not to mercilessly serve the AV election campaign in Montenegro that has already begun under the slogan - not a single step back. In what will he, apart from Chetnik chatter, helping the SPC, BIA, parts of the academic community and a large number of political satellites of the AV. Among which the DNP is only the first or closest to the heart, but not the only one. Or as the experienced Ranko Krivokapić would say: Milo and Momir were less Milošević's puppets in the 90s than they are today, from the parliamentary majority, Vučić's.

Alo.rs is just another piece of evidence. Vučić is writing all over Montenegrin land, from Novi to Pljevlja, from some Katić to the now famous Vraneš, from Baja Mali Knindža to some Saša Blagojević and DJ Vučićević. Who, by the way, entered our house a long time ago, via radio TDI, where they have been entertaining us all day long, for years, with Zaječar humor from the Belgrade studio. On the beautiful Ekavica. Which is not yet in official use, but here is the opportunity - when Bogdanović, Joković, Spajić and Mandić change the name of the language in order to get the discriminated Serbian on its feet, it would be nice if Ekavica was also standardized alongside it. If, in addition to the cap, the red cap were also written into the Constitution, as Milan K., the new guru of IN4S, beautifully says. Instead of Rector Božović. Another confirmation that hard and serious work always pays off.
