Good morning. You’re reading a daily contextual review of the news that marked the previous day.

What’s the difference between Vesna and Rada?
Some Twitter user asked this question and it was a good one. Suddenly, under great public pressure, the dormant URA woke up and they’re like – Rada Visnjic shouldn’t be abounting the acting headteacher of the Bar Yugoslavia primary school. In fact, Rada didn’t do anything that Vesna Bratic hasn’t already done. Maybe Vesna didn’t state details of her ideology on Ratko Mladic publicly, but she sure thinks the same. Then the ministry started to make a difference between Vesna and Rada – Rada had underwear photos. Suddenly, the problem is not Ms Visnjic’s extremist political ideology but her erotic photos. Andrej Nikolaidis wrote about it in his last night’s column titled ‘Visnjic, Bratic and the “obscene: conservative ideology devours its children’. I immediately thought that this could be a kind of a creative methodology of a new government – let us appoint some very scandalous person like Rada Visnjic, then we make URA get a score once we kick her out, and after that we appoint Kikovic, Vucurovic and a number of problematic guys as headteachers in schools.
Even though Vesna Bratic is the best person for the opposition, as he, just like Leposavic, shows the core of this government, according to Adnan Cirgic, pressure should be made on all fronts. It’s why it’d be good to gather tomorrow and protest in front of Bratic’s ministry at 10 a.m. And if many people gather, we can stroll down to the Democrats and URA.
Fall of Tamara Srzentic
The Prime Minister went to the town of Berane yesterday, and everything would be perceived as another boring visit to municipalities if only Minister Srzentic hadn’t kissed the hand of the Serbian Bishop Metodije thus losing sympathies of fewer Montenegrins she used to have. Kissing the hand of a representative of the Serbian church in Montenegro, while they’re taking over our institutions, is utterly reckless. Secondly, I’m not sure how this gesture would be perceived in a pretty “left” progressive California and her colleagues from the Democratic party she’s been backing in her public appearances. I warned many people from the current government that it’s not a safe environment for them and that they’d gradually start to change under social pressure. A man is measured by the quality of his friends.
The ship started shaking
Another meeting of the parliamentary majority, still no agreement. The DF still threatens with the end and announces that Krivokapic and Becic will be guilty for everything. Of course, they don’t mention Abazovic. Krivokapic is spicing things up and admits party positioning, but we got used to it. The Democrats still reiterate the same story – that the DF collaborates with the DPS, wishing to overthrow the government.
URA backs the PM’s initiative and wants to equate victims and criminals with the resolution on all victims.
The Democrats refuse to dismiss Kovacevic for his denial of the genocide. That thing was already settled with Leposavic’s dismissal.
All in all, this government is a role model.
Entertainment for folks
Mayor of Budva, who throws lascive comments at actors at the theater festival. A picture from Zivko Nikolic’s movies and from the Budva Grad Teatar. Sometimes I think I should be moving out. And go live, for example, in Cetinje.
That’s all for today. Until tomorrow.
