The non-governmental associations "Aktiv" and "Don Đon Buzuku" from Ulcinj demand the urgent adoption of the Lustration Law, which, as they state, from all the countries of the Western Balkans and the so-called of the Eastern Bloc, was not only adopted in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In the initial proposal to the Government and the EU Delegation in Podgorica, the two associations say that they are fighting against all forms of discrimination against Albanians in Montenegro caused by the failure to adopt the Lustration Law and the absence of necessary transformations in the areas of restitution, rehabilitation and reform.
"There were no changes when the systemic collapse of communism had to happen. We think that the pressure of the USA and the EU in order to prevent the outbreak of a bloody civil war was also absent. But unfortunately, at that time it was allowed for those who produced the war to move silently into the new system and then make peace. As a result of such events, we have the complete criminalization of this area, including the authorities, including the bodies charged with prosecuting crime. All of this in Montenegro is confirmed in the best possible way by the systemic dispersal of real contenders for power after the victory of the electoral list Europe Now, which still inspires hope if the rules of democratic changes are followed to the end," the proposal states.
It is estimated that at the end of the eighties of the last century, there was not an essential but only a generational change of government in Montenegro.
"Privatization was carried out in a completely wrong way and in the era of inflation when the currency was devalued. Fictitious rich people were created who had no experience because they did not come from the real sector. In the end, with unrealistic promises from the contract, they borrowed from the banks on account of mortgage or fiduciary over the purchased property at insignificant inflationary prices or funds", the initiative reads.
It is claimed that Montenegro was transformed from an industrial economy into a service industry and that in the era of inflation the government did not have the experience to preserve the value of social property.
"The Marxist formulation from 'Capital' commodity - money - commodity was applied. This means that in conditions of hyperinflation, having passed through devalued money, goods lose their value in the amount of inflation. If, for example, it has changed hands three times, the goods have completely lost their value," the proposal to the Government and the EU delegation states.
In order for lustration to function harmoniously between the resolution of the Council of Europe and the Convention on Human Rights, it is added, it should be treated in a political and not a criminal sense, individually and not collectively.
"If the lustration was completed according to the Resolution of the Council of Europe and the opinion of the Venice Commission, then it would not be necessary to enact the Law on the Origin of Property, because property acquired by crime is the subject of regular procedures after criminal proceedings. The law needs to be passed because the devaluation of property by assessment according to Marx's 'Capital' led to bad privatizations, which allowed individuals to get rich", the initiative explains.
It is pointed out that in the procedure it is not necessary to pursue guilt, but to carry out a reassessment of the property using the method of revaluation in the form of a comparative commodity equivalent and not a denomination, as was the case until now. Thus, it is added, the state and injured citizens would receive the lost property, and the new value should be used for compensation, social benefits and increasing the standards of all citizens.
"If the current government turns a deaf ear like the previous ones, the EU should be asked to exert pressure for the adoption of laws so that, among other things, political rebels would be rehabilitated and persecuted, not only in a moral but also in a material sense. In addition, by confiscating the assets of the privileged class of the transition authorities, new value would be created for development without the need for debt, as the new leadership preaches. The new responsibility for future generations is a burden and not the benefit of the citizens".
