President of the Executive Board of United Montenegro Danilo Jokić reacted to the Government's decision to dismiss Goran Danilović from the position of director of the Agency for Control and Quality Assurance of Higher Education, saying that based on the decision of the Administrative Court, the procedure could have been different.
The Administrative Court found that Danilović, the leader of Ujedinjena, was illegally appointed as the director of the Agency in June 2023. The government dismissed him in a telephone session yesterday.
"Goran Danilović was dismissed from the position of Director of AKOKVO. He was not dismissed due to poor or unwise management of the Agency, but based on the decision of the Administrative Court, and based on that same decision, it was possible to act differently. Let's be clear! Danilović was convincingly first in the public competition in the Human Resources Administration. The decision of the Administrative Court was sent to the Government, which in their opinion made an omission somewhere. The Government, this one or the previous one, should have corrected the omission or sent its representative to resolve the dispute in the Administrative Court. None of that. Goran was just a candidate, nothing more and nothing less, with the sin of being the best in the test. And as is customary and befitting of today's Montenegro, a public and media lynching began. However, it all started because of the reaccreditation of the FCJK in Cetinje. My friend Goran Danilović was immediately put in the crosshairs as if he were the one deciding the fate of the aforementioned Faculty, he and not the commission. One of the most eloquent parliamentarians in Montenegro was attacked by both known and unknown, laymen and so-called experts. Only Minister Jakšić - Stojanović was silent. Not a word. Not then, not today," Jokić writes in his reaction.
He says that Montenegro is small and that "everything is heard louder when it is silent."
"Behind her associate's back, she sent all possible inspections to the Agency and around it, to search and find what is not there. And they found nothing. You were shamefully silent, Mrs. Jakšić-Stojanović, you were silent unworthy of your academic and political calling. However, you know best why you behaved like that. I guess that's how you were taught at that Ves and Milo faculty, excuse me, the University. At yesterday's Government session, you and everyone from PES finally spoke up. You were in favor of his dismissal. You did not use any other legal mechanism. It would have been honorable if you had said in an open conversation that you did not see Danilović as part of the team. You did not, you were loudly silent. We from United Montenegro are modest people, educated and we understand everything, especially complexes, let's extend a hand and move on with a scar. Scars remain and cannot be forgotten, but they have never, before or since, made us inhuman. You had time to learn about all this from the fight against the long-standing DPS government, if you had any. Here it is publicly I invite the PES parliamentary club - publish just one text about the thirty-year struggle against that darkness and everything will be fine with God. Only one text from any field, and each is collapsed. It would be nice if it was yours, but as far as my memory serves me, and I remember well, no detective will find such a text in your biography. He won't because he isn't there, Mrs. Jakšić Stojanović," adds Jokić.
He said that of all those who supported the minister's proposal in the government, we were least surprised that "the minister of all knowledge" Dragoslav Šćekić did so.
"It seems that he just doesn't understand why the president of the SNP, Mr. Joković, voted against your proposal? He doesn't understand or is he settling scores with him behind the back of the United Party? Still, we all see everything. The truth is that we voted for no confidence in the Government in which Minister Šćekić was also a member, and the DPS also voted for no confidence. The truth is, Mr. Šćekić, that you and that government were elected by the votes of the DPS, and we were against it even then. Don't try to object to us because we all know each other well, and the public has long seen who you are and who the United Party is. And how did you say: Danilović brought down your government so that he could be a minister? It would be better if you had remained silent like Minister Jakšić - Stojanović because Danilović could have been a minister if he hadn't cared about himself and his honor, and you and the aforementioned minister know that well. But there really is a difference between you because you speak up when it would be wiser to remain silent, and she doesn't even speak up when she should have. But, this is not unknown to Montenegro. They used to be "popular are the direct courts where neither the prosecutor nor the defendant speak because everything is known in advance, and today electronic sessions of the Government are popular. That's what you call silence and vote. We just don't understand why you don't keep quiet when it's obvious that you haven't even read the Administrative Court's verdict. Although, it looks like today's Montenegro, where those who can't do either of these things speak and remain silent," Jokić wrote.
