Despicable behaviour, which took place on 15 February in the Parliament, represents an introduction to even worse conditions Montenegro will face, which the Supreme State Prosecutor Ivica Stankovic will bear the direct responsibility for, said professor of the University of Montenegro Rajko Todorovic Todor.
According to him, Montenegro no longer resembles the state, but rather a company in disarray. And we are pushed in such a situation by “cheap petty politics, double standards, turning a blind eye and turning a betrayal into a democratic act,” Pobjeda writes.
“Traitors flaunt and proudly talk about their misdeeds. When we do something for Montenegro, then we fiercely charge that, and when we work against it, then the service is free of charge and carried out with enthusiasm,” said Todorovic. The developments that occurred in the Parliament hall on 15 February are the lowest form of human existence, he said. Todorovic points out that the dysfunctional institutions played major role in the scenario of immorality and unethical actions of local politicians, but also, as he said, well-paid NGO sector.
“Our poor institutions contributed to that and the last one that collapsed is the Supreme State Prosecutor’s Office. The SSP needs to resign urgently, because he is in the as serious as possible conflict of interest,” said Todorovic.
In this, as he put it, den, the NGO sector is nothing better. As Todorovic emphasised, NGOs called despicable behaviour of some Montenegrin MPs “emotional reaction”.
The former Montenegrin foreign minister Miodrag Vlahovic said that the images of aggression and violence in the Parliament’s hall represented a symbolic continuation of what opponents of the state’s existence had long in mind. As Vlahovic said, they mind Montenegro as an independent state, which confirms its independence through its Atlantic and European orientation and behaves correctly and adhering principles towards all its neighbours.
“Proponents of the policy that opposes the national and state interests belong to the political culture or lack of culture that does not tolerate to be in a minority. There are numerous examples of such violence, which emerges in all the key moments. Therefore, insults and physical attacks, as well as the cynical and mocking remarks that we heard, quite clearly indicate that those are ruthless provocateurs and a dangerous and destructive policy,” said Vlahovic.
He added that it was legitimate for Democratic Front to do anything that would jeopardise the regular political process and push Montenegro in the turmoil and political chaos.
“It is disturbing that DF’s nationalist berserkers are followed by politicians from parties that do not belong there, or at least should not belong there, such as SDP and URA Civic Movement,” said Vlahovic.
He said that Montenegro needs to change from the Montenegrin and democratic side, but also with a platform to strengthen our economic, political, security and cultural potential.
“I would not be surprised if, as the decision on Montenegro’s accession to NATO approaches, this belligerent behaviour of those for whom this decision means the end of the world is enhanced,” Vlahovic said.
He added that such a decision would lead to a significant weakening of the motives and grounds for their political activities.
