In the summer of 2020, the then President of the Supreme Court Vesna Medenica she actively participated in the pre-election campaign for the parliamentary elections that were held on the penultimate day of August, and her son was also involved Miloš Medenica.

"I have a letter from the party, where we need your help... Great anger, and many demands from the voters," the deputy of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) tells her, among other things. Aleksandra Vuković Kuč.

The politician, among other things, asks the head of the judiciary at the time to include a certain kindergarten director in the work of the headquarters in Drijenak (a settlement in the municipality of Kolašin), together with family members...

This is shown by their telephone correspondence - the transcripts of the conversation were removed from Medenica's phone after the long-time prosecutor and judge was arrested in April 2022 at the Podgorica airport, due to accusations that she became a member of a criminal organization formed by her son.

Envious evil

In the middle of July of that year, Medenica and Vuković Kuč commented on the review of the then Social Democratic Party (SDP) MP Draginja Vuksanović on the constitutionality of Medenica's third mandate, so the judge says that she is an "enviable evil", who hates her from the bottom of her soul...

Medenica and the vice-president of the DPS started their conversation on June 5, 2020, and a day later, according to the messages, they officially met in Kolašin, where Vuković Kuč was "on the ground"...

After drinking coffee, the DPS official informs Medenica that afternoon that she has arrived in Podgorica and explains that she is glad to have met her.

On the same day, the two exchange their literary works...

In the middle of July, that is, for the National Day, Vuković and Medenica comment on the "defense of the holy places", so the DPS MP informs Medenica: "This is a holy day." I put the raven feeding the prophet Elijah on their T-shirts, on purpose. Morački Monastery is our, not their, sanctuary," she writes.

He then asks the then president of the Supreme Court if she saw the text published on the Vijesti portal - "Irineja sang about 'Serbian Podgorica'"

"Piii, I won't even let it spoil my day," Medenica announces and receives a reply in which Vuković Kuč quotes part of the text: "I defend the holy places from Mirasha and from Mila...

"They sing that to the patriarch. Simple world, province!", she writes.

"Unfortunately, we are one simple province in the majority," Medenica writes to her.

Three days later, an MP calls her from the parliament, from where she asks if she is listening to the presentation of the then Minister of Justice Zoran Pažin:

"Are you listening to Pazin? It responds to Draginja's attitude towards the unconstitutionality of your third mandate".

Medenica writes that she is not listening because she is at sea.

"He defends his position that the election is not unconstitutional," the MP explains.

"What more does Draginja want? I would like her to remove me, for her to take the throne before establishing a political compromise", asks Medenica.

"She talked about it for two minutes. Pažin defends the old position... Here it is: It is not a question of constitutionality, it is not a question of legality, but it is a question of standards," Vuković sent her.

"She is an enviable evil. He hates me from the bottom of his soul for who I am The edge removed me from the position of president of the High Court and then said that she would take revenge on me, and he did something similar when he became a prosecutor, so he took courage," Medenica writes to her.

Vuković Kuč answers her: "Here she is now... She is attacking him!"

"What kind of standards do you need someone to set standards for you, and before that to approve the constitutional provisions and the text of the law. One person for 15 years... Are there two or three Vesna Medenica in Montenegro?!!” Medenica asks.

"That's her story... Pah!", writes the DPS official.

Medenica then asks: "Why didn't she or anyone else answer????? Scum..”

"Here are the pies. Pažin talks about standards and maintains the same position he expressed about 15 days ago. He didn't vote for those court presidents, it's not about low-quality court presidents, on the contrary, but we need to respect the EU club we want to join... The need to respect EU standards. Wow, how much this woman talks!" states Vuković Kuč.

“Hindsight. He did not vote because he was not present at the Judicial Council. At least let it be at least correct. And hatred comes out of her, as you can see," writes Medenica.

Then he receives a reply from the messenger:

"Awww, now I told them out loud, to all of them: Hey, men, you have a problem with one woman, Vesna Medenica, and you say that none of her was even allowed to apply. Is she a woman or a dragon?!! Brajovic he looks at me and laughs. Krivokapic Vienna. Pažin is watching... I also asked if Draginja wouldn't take Vesna's place. Veli Ranko: She would for the prosecutor. I respect when someone has principles of public interest, and when it comes down to it, it's a matter of naked, wretched personal interest. Enjoy the sea..."

"What would I do if you weren't there, there wouldn't even be a Montenegrin woman. And there won't be any of us!!!", said the president of the Supreme Court at the time.

"They used to be janissaries, today they are janissaries... Under the cloak of justice, interest, interest, interest... There is no greater loss than a small soul that considers itself big. Ouch! Let's talk... I'm also going to the sea incognito this weekend, so I'm going to Kolašin... He'll come too Çoço. I'm calling you...", Vuković Kuč sends her.

Letter from the party

After agreeing to meet in Kolašin, the DPS official informed Medenica on July 25 that she had been on the field in Nikšić for four days, so she was leaving for her hometown.

"Dear Vesna, hello. Four days on the field in Nikšić. tomorrow evening, Kolašin, so let's finish the assembly, and then Kolašin, let's sort it out, so that everything can't be. I have a letter from the party, where we need your help. I am forwarding their message. 'Olivera Vukićević, the director of the kindergarten, to report with the signatures of the family's support To Vesk Popović until tomorrow at 18 p.m. All other instructions for inclusion in the work of the Drijenak headquarters (it was not active until now) will be received from the chief of staff Popović and the coordinator Bulatović. I had to go to Nikšić. Great anger, and many requests from voters. MO which has 6000 voters. Will you be there next week?", writes Vuković Kuč.

"I just have an obligation in Pg on Wednesday and I'll be back." This Popović is no slouch. The Vukicevic brothers are all here, that's not a problem. I'll call her. "He will give the signatures to my Miloš first," writes the judge.

The answer immediately arrives to her: “Ouch! You are the queen. I love you. Let him give them, as you think, and let Miloš take them. I don't know the people, this was sent to me by the party. Let her engage, her work means to us. If necessary, to sit with you and me. We need to include everything now!!! And we are in the parliament until Wednesday, so I'm in Kolašin. We organize as much as possible. There are many people you have helped, we have to invite and engage you as well".

Medenica then criticizes a fellow citizen mentioned by the party:

“It's valid. This Popović, for whom I finished a thousand things for Miloš, smoothly took the job he had been doing 2 years before. Garbage and from my deceased. his wife did not separate. She will sit down for sure and she can hardly wait. Believe me I don't know what it looks like”.

“Yeah. OK. Brought to your attention. Unfortunately, Vesna, we are living in an age without people. My goal is to create a historic result and put a crown on our work, and those who are for crowns do not crown their morals for the sake of small benefits. Let them work too. "Unfortunately, when counting, your vote and mine are worth the same as that of Popović," Vuković Kuč explains to her.

"Socrates' and Plato's are the same as the voice of two shepherds," states Medenica.

“Yes. And that's why I don't watch, but we go and work... It's a wonder how in Kolašin there are exceptional people and nothing!", the official of the then ruling party wrote to her.

"I have been both blind and deaf for a long time. That saved me, otherwise I would have been killed. I stayed in Kolašin today, so if you need it, I'm in the mood for coffee", Medenica replies and receives a message.

"...I'm in Kolašin. Great need! At the meeting with the coalition partner, we have a problem with them (one member), I think you can help us".

After an affirmative answer, they arrange a meeting - in half an hour in Bjanca...

Not long after that correspondence, Vuković Kuč informs Medenica about the message she rejected from her colleague from the parliament Ana Nikolić, which he forwards to her and asks her opinion.

"Vojislavka Vuković Goločevac. She has been working as a judge of the Basic Court in Cetinje for 10 years, and before being elected as a judge, she worked as the secretary of the Commercial and High Courts. He has a total of 18 years of service. During her work as a judge, she dealt with cases under the jurisdiction of the Cetinje, Kotor and Podgorica courts and achieved the best results every year. He is considered one of the best judges in Montenegro in civil matters. He lives in Podgorica".

"She is not the best, but she is good. I know her very well. Draginja Vuksanović's godmother," Medenica answers.

The interlocutor tells her that she will ask her colleague why she sent her the resume, and at the same time states that "it must be for some position".

"For the president of the court in Cetinje", Medenica writes to her.

Vuković Kuč confirms, then asks: "What would I say to Ana?"

"Let him compete. The competition is public. We do not promise anything to anyone and everyone participates in the game, whoever wins. Let's talk when you're free because of Kl," Medenica writes to her.

"I'm free. Shall I call you? I don't know if you can hear me. He told me that the DPS is a story and so on...", the MP answers her.

"I didn't hear, the signal was lost. Dear, I finished something, so let's see if you are in Kl. I'm just coming back from Pg", Medenica sends her...

She entered politics yesterday, but she is already old

Well, my dear Aleksandra, I still hear your words on August 30 when you said to me - We are losing Vesna..... We lost that evening a big part of ourselves, our life and reality, which is now colored by other people's ideologies and we are not there. Where are we??? I finish my work duties and pack my memories. I go round the courts and send the last messages. I am ending my professional mission of 40 years. I thought that everything would be different, but when it is forced, nothing is as expected...", Medenica wrote to the DPS deputy on December 9, 2020.

The answer comes from her that the latter times have come.

"My dear Vesna, the latter times have come. I am in Nikšić, I can see myself better there, and I can see more easily than all this. 'It was scary to watch what was being done!' The people in front of me are parting. Betrayal is the most established Montenegrin trait. I entered politics yesterday, and I have the feeling that I am getting old. I will never, never bow my head to this evil. The defiance is growing on me. As long as I can walk, I will fight against Nazism, Greater Serbia and primitivism, provincialism and Montenegrin small townsmen", writes Vuković Kuč.

"I quoted him in the parliament before this coup. Democracy pays for not living up to its lofty goals, my dear. Bashibozluk, Bagra and Brabonjci, as Koča Popović said, stood up to restore Dušan's empire".

"Piiiii", Medenica replies to her...
