Good morning! The mass murder in Cetinje was once again the reason for the targeting of Cetinje and Cetinje residents by well-known public space actors. Today, I will share two of the worst examples with you. One is Milutin Micovic, the other is Roberto Golovic.

Demonizing Cetinje
Although the tragedy in Cetinje united Montenegro, many voices on social networks used this occasion to target Cetinje and the residents of Cetinje with the well-known narrative about the “chasing evil out of cheepfold” and the curse of the people of Cetinje who were cursed because they resented the Serbian church.
Two men went the furthest. The first is Milutin Micovic, the court poet of the new government, the brother of the Serbian Metropolitan for the southern half of Montenegro, Joanikije II, who, by the way, reigns in Cetinje. The brother of the metropolitan, whose enthronement almost caused conflicts in the country three years ago, calls Cetinje a “demon city” on his Facebook profile, quoting a poem by the Serbian nationalist author Pedja Vukic, in which Cetinje is cursed and compared to Sodom, a city that serves hell.
Another well-known actor, former officer of the Montenegrin navy, educated in Annapolis with a state scholarship, Chevening scholarship winner Roberto Golovic, administrator of the “satirical” pages Stari Liberal and Splačinijada in his spare time. I would like to know who writes recommendations to such people? Who recommends such people for anything? A man with extreme right-wing positions, whose text about Cetinje I will carry here in its entirety:
There is something called “siege mentality”. This is when a group of people live in the belief that they are under constant attack, that someone is besieging them and trying to harm them. In such an environment, a kind of collective psychosis is created, which individuals feed on each other, and they become collectively more abnormal, i.e. (since I’m not an official and an NGO, I don’t have to explain) more crazy. The siege isn’t real, but it is to them because they’re crazy.
You can guess where this is going because in Europe (besides the actual sieges in Ukraine) there is no better example of the siege mentality than Cetinje. How pronounced the siege mentality has been in that city for decades can be seen from their mythological battles with the so-called The Seventh Battalion (literally never-happened), the Lovcen guards, that BBC documentary from 2000 in which they talk about how they are preparing for war, and also my previous post. For example, even when they literally besiege the church, they think that they are the ones under siege, when they beat the numerically and physically weaker boys in the seminary, they think that they are defending themselves. Their collective state of consciousness is distorted and they are constantly on edge. Or do you think it’s a coincidence that such monstrous massacres happen so casually in such a small environment? In 300k people in Podgorica there is none, in 10k people in Cetinje there is… by chance, right?
This is contributed to by the complete absence of will on the part of the authorities to perceive the problem. (((Our))) government, through Milo, Krivi (whom they swear in the streets), Dritanga (whose mother they cursed), Jakov (whom they beat), Milojko, Mandic (whose Chetnik mother they cursed), through the metropolitans (wearing bulletproof vests) and all the other leaders of the country and parties are all talking about the freedom-loving hErO CiTy, instead of addressing this constantly enraged menagerie, they coddle them, reward them with double budget, the most investments per capita. And at the entrance to the city, there is the banner saying “We are all Neno Kaludjerovic”, and it seems that they really are, manifesting themselves one by one in the most monstrous and tragic way.
Of course, apart from the Cetinje residents who allowed themselves to be brought into this position by their modest mental abilities (how do you like this euphemism for literal retards with half brains?) the biggest blame lies with those who actively radicalize and incite them because their business model depends on it. They saw a group of idiots and decided to feed them hatred and profit from it. I will probably skip someone in listing, but there is of course the DPS and their mafia manifestations like Veljovic and the like, the media, from their local portals through CdM, Analitika, Antena M, Pobjeda, and the slightly more moderate (and actually more perfidious) Vijesti, telling them that the threat lies in Vucic, conversion into Serbs, clericalization, that we are on the brink of civil war, and then NGOs like CDT, CGO, CEMI and others scare them by saying that someone will enumerate them, classify them into columns, count them, and from something that is an ordinary bureaucratic procedure, create tensions in which they feel that they are being attacked, that intruders are entering their homes, etc.; and of course, individual professional instigators like the self-proclaimed metropolitans (they have two), Supkovic, Nitkovaidis, Dzora, Zeks who, from a comfortable distance from that shaking cage, spew unbridled lies that can only be thought up by a deranged mind lacking the morals and truth, and which stick to smooth brains of fighters “for the right, honor and freedom of Montenegro” (I just don’t know against whom).
You just continue to radicalize them, to drive them crazy, to pamper them, to justify them, and in the end to dip your hands deeper in the blood of innocent victims because as I told you about the previous “not-to-forget event”, it is only a question of when this will happen again because ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is being done to prevent this from happening again, and everything is done to intensify the conditions in which such heinous crimes flourish. The dead cannot come back to life, nobody will be better off from pathos, the only thing we can do is learn something from this (and we won’t learn anything).
I would not add anything else, but ask people to come to their senses. What happened to Cetinje is happening more and more often all over the world. Mental illness, aggression, sadness and tragedy must not be a reason to mark an entire city or an entire nation.
That’s it for today and this week. See you again on Monday.
