Do any of the winners from 30 August really think that the policy of apartheid towards Montenegrins – the doctrine according to which everyone can be in power in Montenegro, except Montenegrins – is sustainable in the long run or even in the medium term?
Of course, that doctrine wasn’t formulated as apartheid. No one publicly says that Montenegrins cannot be in power. But it’s that parties Montenegrins voted for cannot be in power. Which may sound less fascist but is just as illegal. Is there a line in law or the constitution stipulating that the European Union and DPS cannot be in power? Did someone, in the meantime, ban the work of those parties?
To be precise… The argument suggesting that there are Montenegrins in power – for example, President Milatovic and ‘Deputy Prime Minister Becic – and other mimicry strategies, is a total nonsense. Yes: for the Montenegrins who supported religious processions, those who are submissive before the Serbian Orthodox Church and kneel before Vucic while he makes fun of them; for such Montenegrins, the government’s door is wide open. As for those who articulate the political will of the majority of Montenegrins – it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than they to enter the counter-revolutionary government.
Apartheid against Montenegrins is carried out with cynical abuse of the concept of civil constitutional organization of the state. If there are no national quotas and if everyone in Montenegro is first of all its citizens, and only then members of national communities, isn’t it rude to count the national identity of ministers? Making the civil concept of the state meaningless, the government is actively working on its ethno-federalization and the Constitution that would promote the concept of “constituent peoples”.
Here is a question for the last political idiot in this country: if the parties that restored independence, brought Montenegro into NATO and insisted on its civil organization were informally but effectively put outside the legal order, how long will it be before their political successors suffer the same fate?
You just listen to them, believe them.
Do you remember the propaganda story that Djukanovic would not hand over power peacefully. And – what did he do? But I hereby claim that after the election defeat, Vucic and his phalanx he uses to rule over Montenegro, will not hand over power gained by the clerical counter-revolution. The fact that they lied to you then doesn’t mean that they will lie to you again?
Speaking of which, do you remember the propaganda story about how Belgrade had no pretensions over Montenegro? Stories about how Vucic and Milo made an agreement? Stories about how the fall of Djukanovic would also mean the end of Vucic? Today, Montenegro is defended from Vucic by those who handed it over to him like a waiter, like an oval with mixed meat, accusing us of the fall of the country who defended it from them and their treachery – those who had the honor of having Vucic visiting them and sitting with him, then when he toured his newly conquered territory.
The man who’s the most responsible for the downfall of Montenegro along with Dritan now sheds tears over the Montenegrin fate in his texts. He’s completely irrelevant, except as a symbol of Montenegrin misery. At the same time, the most disgusting thing is not his dishonour. But the absolute absence of a gift, over which someone, man or God, who will know, committed genocide in his case. Namely, I had dogs who wrote better than him.
Of course, Vucic’s local soldier deserves contempt. But Acika Vucic is a dangerous, very dangerous opponent.
Just look at what this guy managed to do: that Washington allowed him to take over Montenegro, to tighten the situation in Bosnia to unprecedented proportions through Dodik, without giving them anything in return. Nor will he give them. Neither about Kosovo, nor about Serbia’s entry into NATO and the EU. He didn’t even give them the lithium he promised them. Nothing. And it’s one step away from completing the Serbian World. Vucic won the game that the West traditionally plays with this region: the one with the stick and the carrot. Aleksandar Vucic doesn’t have a stick to beat with. But he has carrots. The West is behaving like a donkey that seems to have escaped from hunger and is blindly trampling after that carrot. Empires, as is well known, die slowly. And they die disgustingly and humiliatingly. Empires are like condoms; when they are used up and thrown away, it takes a long time for them to fully rot. Vucic knows that. That’s why he is literally playing with the West. And at the same time, through lobbying firms, which are nothing more than legalized corruption, he’s decorating them like a singer at a village party, in a tent with a sign: ‘It’s forbidden to touch her with greasy hands.’
If there’s something someone doesn’t understand… Vucic is not fooling around.
Which we can’t say for the Montenegrin and Bosnian political elite resisting him spectacularly but unsuccessfully. Among other things, because, in almost infinite helplessness and naivety, some think that the West cares that they are pro-Western and pro-NATO, while others think that anyone who needs lithium cares that they were victims of genocide.
