Baja Mali Knindža, known for his nationalistic and chauvinistic lyrics, could reportedly sing in Pljevlja by the end of the month, and insiders do not rule out the possibility that the concert could be held on May 21st - Independence Day.
A source close to the authorities told Vijesti that talks are underway with Baj Mali Knindža about the possibility of his performance in Pljevlja. He said that he expects the concert to take place in May and that he does not rule out the possibility that it will take place on the twentieth anniversary of the restoration of Montenegrin independence.
"Vijesti" was unable to obtain official confirmation or denial of information that Baja could allegedly perform in the northernmost Montenegrin city, which is widely speculated in Pljevlja. Mayor of the Municipality Dario Vranes did not respond to the invitation and message from "Vijesti", so it is unclear who is behind the alleged negotiations on organizing the concert. Vraneš is a member of the New Serbian Democracy and often publicly glorifies the Chetnik movement...
"Vijesti" was unable to obtain a comment from the opposition Democratic Party of Socialists about a possible public appearance by the avowed Serbian nationalist on Independence Day.
The police unofficially told "Vijesti" that they had not been notified of any public gathering on that occasion.
Baja Mali Knindža, or rather Mirko Pajcin, has been known for its nationalist repertoire since the 1990s, during the bloody breakup of the former Yugoslavia.
If unofficial information is confirmed as correct, Pajčin could, among other things, sing: "I don't love you Alija, because you are a Balija," in a city where, according to the latest census, every sixth citizen is Muslim.
Pajčin gained great popularity in the 1990s by glorifying Serbness, and one of his first songs was "Vrati se, vojvodo", in which he sang the praises of the war criminal. Momcilo Djujica, commander of the Dinaric Chetnik Division during World War II. Đujić's Chetniks committed numerous crimes, including against Serbs, and after the collapse of the Third Reich, the duke fled to the USA, where he lived for more than four decades and became one of the most influential figures of the Chetnik emigration...
He also popularized at least two other subsequently convicted war criminals - Radovan Karadžić i Vojislav Seselj...
On the occasion of the Day of the Republika Srpska, Knindža was awarded the Order of Njegoš, First Class, in 2024.
