Good morning! Does the political elite care so much about children that we will give them to an extreme political group? Later, we will be bewildered at the increase in violence and nationalist graduation celebrations. Later, we will be bewildered at the changed demographic and political picture of Montenegro.

DF to take care of children
They say that, among other things, they proposed the education department to DF in order to come into power. As of 2020, Putinophiles seem to have subscribed to the management of education in the country. We handed over the University to the man who founded the main pro-Russian media in Montenegro, and who advised the Russians on how to take over Montenegro.
The education department was first in Vesna Bratic’s hands, and then it was taken over by the SNP staff, a laureate of the Russian prize for education and a scholarship recipient of their exchange programs. Now education is allegedly being handed over to the Democratic Front.
Parties are created from short-term interests, and people are their fuel. During the time of DPS, the education department was taken over by parties in order to buy votes through the huge reservoir of jobs. This is still done, but with a longer-term agenda – the identity one. Which is not hidden much at all.
DF, or what is left of it, follows the policies of the Government of Serbia, which are aimed at consolidating the Serbian identity in the region. The Government of Serbia allocates a considerable amount of money for this. It is enough for you to walk in the center of Podgorica and see the Serbian House financed by the money of the taxpayers of Serbia.
Therefore, DF has an advantage over the other parties, because unlike them, it has an ideology. And ideology provides guidelines for long-term action. It makes sure that your actions have coherence and consistency in the long run. No other party in Montenegro has that.
The agenda of Serbian soft influence in the region is anything but an agenda of soft influence. Soft influence implies attraction, not coercion. We are now forced and blackmailed by a relatively small political bloc to hand over the education department to them. By taking over education, they will work on the indoctrination of children, raise tensions and prepare chaos, which in the foreseeable future should create a favorable situation for the ultimate goal of the DF politics and its patrons in Belgrade – the final Serbian unification. The Serbian Orthodox Church and the state of Serbia help them in this, through the work of fan groups of Belgrade clubs, as well as nationalist activity in the field of culture.
So, we had a concert of the Belgrade Syndicate in Berane, and hyper-nationalists like Milo Lompar were guests at the City Theater in Budva. Not to mention the series of Cyrillic festivals, which have nothing to do with Cyrillic. This is not over-exaggeration or paranoia. You can often hear this sequence of steps and actions on Serbian televisions. It is also included in the strategic documents of the Government of Serbia.
Education, along with culture, is strategically important for Serbian nationalist activists and for Vulin’s employees and volunteers in Montenegro. With the media and culture, the job is done. All that will remain is an empty external NATO/EU shell that is just waiting to be filled, in some new post-30 August iteration, by right-wing authoritarians like Vucic and Orban.
That’s it for today. We wish you a pleasant rest of the day.
