Vučić on the couch, Spajić in the closet

It was the end of November 2011 when the all-powerful and untouchable Đukanović, the master of Montenegro, was visited by Toma Nikolić and Aleksandar Vučić, two political outsiders, at that moment, “sinners” of Vojislav Šešelj. But the boys showed promise. And Milo always had a flair for talent. Together they announced what we would see in the coming years: we would build the best relations between the two countries. Toma was in charge, and young Aleksandar worked more from the background. He was happy to see Tito, and the smile did not slip from his face even when our Don was asked if he was afraid of Sanaderization. “That’s what political mice say who need, first of all, deratization, instead of Sanaderization.” There, Vučić learned new lessons on the subject of dealing with dissenters.

Less than a year later, Toma defeated the weak Boris, and Alexander the Great came to power. Sometime in late 2017, a business partner from Belgrade, when we touched on politics, told me that he had been in high school with Aco and that he knew him well, although they had not seen each other since. “After the elections and his victory, I told my friends - now you will see how the government is defended”!

And we've been watching that movie for years. Although after October 5, 2000 and the fall of Milošević, Serbia hoped that it would never see something similar again.

Sometime towards the end of 2019, I was sitting in Šumatovac with one of Serbia's opposition leaders. He poured fire on AV, threatened that the opposition would not participate in the elections, and when he mentioned the uprising and bloodshed, I asked if it was possible, with the help of great powers, to make some kind of deal with Vučić. The person I was talking to retorted. "You know what kind of man he is - if we offered him the choice between a peaceful departure, a positive place in history, or hanging on Terazije - he would choose the latter."

And then, in the last year, a lot has changed at cinematic speed. In Montenegro, not in Serbia. What will go to Vučić's advantage and what he, who sleeps little and works a lot, will readily accept. Without Đukanović, he would never have come to power, but since alliances do not last forever in politics, he did a lot to push Milo's ouster from power. If we are talking about money, it is not the 20 and a half million invested in Serbian institutions and places of worship around Montenegro, but the recent admission by Vulin's saber Mandić that the ZBCG coalition campaign cost a million and a half. "Someone had to pay for that," admits the DF leader. Krivokapić and the Church did not give a cent, he says, so suspicion fell on Vučić himself.

That was my first remark when he came to the studio. Then I told him about the importance of free media, about how the war with Vijesti cost Đukanović a lot, and ultimately his defeat in the elections. We have exhausted him in these 15 years and thrown him on the ropes, Amfilohije just knocked him out... At the end, I mentioned tycoons and the mafia, and then Vučić entered the studio. What he said is not for me to convey. It was a game of chess, and the Serbian Leader enjoys that ancient game. Pawns are his favorite pieces. Mandić, Knežević and Medojević show that. And cannons are striking weapons. He loves it when he overthrows the king and takes the throne. Amfilohije is dead, Milo is finished, but he did not manage to make a point and give a speech that would symbolically conquer Montenegro. Joanikija will not forget that, which we will probably see when the Bishops' Council votes for a new Montenegrin metropolitan. Aleksandar Vučić never forgets and never gives up.

And now, after we talked on the phone, I can guarantee you - he will not let Serbia go easily. But neither Montenegro.

It was in early November 2020. Vučić on Kanabe. And a few days later, the quoted column, with the same title, was published. So that in mid-2026, the other day, Radojka from today's Bastille, from the blacked-out RTCG, would whine or tweet that I had praised Vučić, the visit and interview on Vijesti 2020, so why should I complain about him now? It turned out according to Radojka that we should not praise ourselves even when the occasion is not for praise, but for fireworks. Namely, the lord of darkness and ratings, in addition to his three local television stations with a national frequency (including RTCG), and a dozen more cable ones, led by Pink and Happy, comes for an interview on Vijesti. Is there a greater recognition of our influence and importance!

And a great opportunity to confirm that primacy and dominance, but also the credibility of Vijesti. Which is what happened. The viewership of Dnevnik at 22 pm was the highest ever, both before and after the AV guest appearance, and our editor Radomir Kračković became a regional star for days. “Here's how Vučić handles himself when he comes under the spotlight of an independent journalist”, under that title, almost all major media outlets in the region published video clips from the aforementioned conversation.

But if everything else was on Radojka's tweet, I wouldn't even mention it, frustration is heavy and painful, so I would understand, if Radojka's dad - Spajki - hadn't gotten involved in the story. That is, his party. Which turned Radojka's tweet into an exhibition. A remake of the former Bebina and Draljeva - Word, picture, enemy.

With a message, don't complain about AV when you've received it on the cannabe. They're teaching me a lesson from Radojko and Mickey, someone who from 2012 to 2020 wrote dozens of columns on the topic of the unnatural, or rather anti-state, fornication of Milo and Vučić, and who after 2020 added even more new, dozens, texts about the malignant influence of AV, the subjugation of Montenegrin institutions and politicians, and the silence of the authorities on all of this.

The montage exhibition is organized by Spajki and his staff, who until yesterday were not allowed to cross themselves at the commemoration of Vučić. Not because of the ritual itself, they are usually good at it, they know the Our Father by heart and that three fingers should be placed first on the right and then on the left, and not the other way around, but they were not allowed to cross themselves because of Batman from Andrić's wreath.

So, after Vučić on the couch, Spajić jumped out of the closet. Not to me, but to Mandić. That's why the wise and reborn announcer, Marta Kos's best friend, had to save his coalition partner, sending some secretary to put him back in the closet. Buy the exhibits and this mattress by Vasilije Čarapić, the secretary must have said something like that, which ended the exhibition. It turned out to be just an attempt. Bravo, Mandić.

The exhibits were, therefore, returned to the closet, along with other Spikey skeletons. Like the Serbian passport and citizenship, the apartment in Belgrade on the water, which he swore he had sold and then admitted he had given it away, the palace in Muo, about whose origin MANS once asked and forgot, and once Petar, because there was no second time. Since Radojka has accustomed the prime minister to pleasant questions, he does not change Bastille. Thank you to RTCG, the prime minister would say. But this is not the end of the canapes and skeletons in the closet. The background and essence of the stories surrounding the crypto-hacker and machinations, the “genius” Do Kwon and the “powerful” Cottrell brother, will only be revealed. “Posh George”, who has recently made it to the top of the front pages of the entire British press, through the story about the secret financing of the Reform Party and its leader Farage. Radojka not a word, let alone a tweet on the subject, Statis and his staff are silent, but even more interestingly - Vučić and the reality TV propaganda there are silent. I guess because of Siniša Mali. And not brother Spajki.

And then they blamed Vučić on me. And they came out of his closet. Sorry, they came out. Ordinary skeletons. Politically, of course.
