Dritan’s vice president – I can’t remember her name and don’t have time to google it, as I’m sure she’s significant for something – also carefully chooses her words when talking about the same thing. Allow me to be personal, those words reminded me of something that Sveto Marovic could have written and sent to URA by DHL, in response to the warrant Dritan sent to Serbia via that same company. What the vice-president said was so elegant and rustic, so wise and stupid, so clear and unclear, so full and empty, that I had the feeling I was reading a classic Marovic’s nonsense.
Instead of being on his way to the Spuz prison, where he belongs after being spotted of taking kickbacks, Dr. Pavicevic keeps Montenegro on the pro-Western course and watches over the foreign policy priorities of the country.
You get it: if the fact that a country that was on the way to the EU elects a government that the EU does not recognize means a change in foreign policy course – then we’ve changed that course.
If the fact that we elected the government of the Democratic Front, even though the US announced that it would not cooperate with such a government, means a change in foreign policy priorities – then we’ve changed foreign policy priorities.
And we can put it like this… If the fact that we don’t give a f**k for the Constitution means that we don’t give a f**k for it – that it means that we don’t give a f**k for the Constitution.
Enter ‘Open Balkans’. How is that ‘regional initiative’ going? Which the USA, according to the diplomatic representatives of that country, won’t back if Kosovo doesn’t join? Thanks for the question, it’s great. We have barricades in the north of Kosovo. Reports that the Serbs fired at NATO – specifically at Latvian soldiers. If the reopening of the question of whether there will be a new war in Kosovo means that ‘Open Balkans’ is a charade that only hopelessly naive or hopelessly corrupt human individuals and less intelligent species of monkeys can believe – then ‘Open Balkans’ is a charade.
Enter Caki Lekic. The new prime minister says his government will be the first normal government in Montenegro. The communists believed that history began with them. Caki goes one step further: he says that normality begins with him. Clearly. It is normal for Caki that his country is under international isolation: he represented such a country diplomatically. If you consider what is normal for Caki…
Let’s say he defends the policy of a country that at that moment is committing war crimes in Kosovo, and transporting the corpses of dead Albanians in refrigerators which will end up in the beautiful, blue Danube. Let’s say that he defends the policy of a country that, after starting four wars (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo), entered the fifth, the one with the North Atlantic Alliance…
If, as I said, you take into account what’s normal for that man, it’ll be clear to you what kind of Montenegro his “normal government” will create. By the way… Greater Serbia nationalism started five wars in 10 years. And lost all five – which is a world record. Think whatever you want about Greater Serbia nationalism, but it’s an impressive result.
Enter ‘democratic changes’. So what do you say, dear representatives of the EU and USA: you expected more from the democratic changes in Montenegro? You couldn’t have imagined that Montenegro would become a clerical, crypto-nationalist den following the changes which came as a result of Amfilohije’s religious processions – the largest manifestation of the street Greater Serbia nationalism since 1989? And your Montenegrin media and NGO informers told you that everything was going to be okay… and what are you going to do now? Kick those informers in the ass? Or continue to listen to them? As the great Argentine thinker, Claudio Caniggia, would say: if the fact that someone pushes you to make decisions in favor of Russia means that that person works for the benefit of Russia – than they work in the best interest of Russia.
And what are we all going to do now?
Now, as Damir Avdic’d say… Enter Jahannam (the Islamic equivalent to Hell).
