The president of the Council for the Development of the Dictionary of the Montenegrin Language, Tatjana Bečanović, in the absence of expert arguments and answers to justified criticisms of the Dictionary, moves to the political field and attacks the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and Prime Minister Milo Đukanović, the party announced.
Bečanović said earlier that he has the impression that this is another pre-election diversion of the topic, and that "those who see the key problem of Montenegro in several terms of the Dictionary do not want to talk about the destroyed economy and closed factories, about the agreements of the leaders of the DPS and the admission of guilt that have stolen 45 million euros from citizens only through three contracts".
In the reaction of the member of the Executive Board of the DPS, Tamara Vukašinović, it is stated that Bečanović, in the absence of expert arguments in response to the more than justified criticisms against Rječnik, moves to the political field and attacks the DPS and Đukanović, in whose government he is just joining.
"She thinks that the fault lies in the fact that a whole series of nonsense was found in the Dictionary, such as the one that the Moon is a planet. These days, not only experts, but also total laymen are joking with their scientific work. All the glory to Professor Bečanović for the creation of this great actions, as well as merits in the fight for the defense of the indefensible", said Vukašinović.
According to her, Bečanović, even if she was not a professor at the Faculty of Philosophy, a CANU associate and the president of the Council for creating the Dictionary, and now an official in the Government, should understand why the content of certain definitions of the Dictionary "is an obvious insult to every sane person on the planet." to the country, let alone for the minority peoples in their country Montenegro".
"Instead of attacking the DPS for no reason, Tatjana Bečanović would be better off preparing to explain to the Montenegrin public how such a large number of insults on national and religious grounds were found in the Dictionary pompously announced as a Maltese revolutionary scientific act, as well as an insult to the state Montenegro, its history, culture and traditions", said Vukašinović.
She asked where at least ten terms in the Dictionary came from, whose closest link is Ivan Crnojević, without mentioning his name, and what else but bad intent, if not provocation, according to the Montenegrin anti-fascist tradition, which is the foundation of Montenegrin statehood, connecting the most prominent Chetnik commander Draža Mihailović with the term anti-fascist.
"If the authors of this Dictionary and all those who defend them in vain had at least an iota of civic, not only scientific, morals, they would have to apologize to the citizens of Montenegro and all those who inherit anti-fascist values for this alone," says Vukašinović.
As she stated, Draža Mihailović has as much to do with anti-fascism as the Moon does to the planet.
"Professor Bečanović's obsessive study of DPS and Đukanović has convinced even those who until this moment did not want to make any value judgments about Rječnik, that the authors do not have enough professional arguments to defend their work, but are looking for the culprits for their own omissions in political addresses. ", said Vukašinović.
