Good morning. You’re reading a daily contextual review of the news that marked the previous day.
Andrej Nikolaidis sends greetings from Croatia, where he’s promoting his latest book, with a new column ‘Two Counter-revolutions’.
Latest offer of the Democratic Front
The clowns from the DF presented their tenth final offer and gave their fifth final ultimatum. This time they have given up the position of a prime minister. If the agreement is not reached and their coalition comrades leave with the DPS, they will probably build a tent settlement in front of the parliament again, because the church has no more reasons for holding religious processions.
If it happens, we’ll go back to 2015 and a relationship reset. URA as Pozitivna then realizes that the interest of the state is endangered and changes side, apologizes to citizens for tear gas, flirts with the Chetniks and we’re all happy on our way to the EU. That’s one scenario, which would be fair.
The second is to allow URA to run the game and form a minority government with the Christian Democrats, hidden under the cloak of experts, and continue to dominate the Montenegrin political stage at the expense of the sovereign bloc. And that would be something as well. Both the DF and the Democrats are out in that case. DF because they are insane, Democrats because they’ve brought themselves to the sidelines by playing games for people.
This method is only acceptable if radical elements are removed from the institutions – especially in the education and security sector.
Prime Minister’s presentation
Just when the Prime Minister was getting ready to present his (read Mikey’s) recovery plan in the high-tech hall of the Music Center, the reporters ruined everything for him. The question of the reporter of Gradska TV about the alleged readiness of Minister MilatoviC to sacrifice the lives of ten Montenegrins in Cetinje at the beginning of September stirred a barrage of accusations against reporters from this media, as well as clumsy denial, which sounded to many as confirmation of suspicion that the minister really said that. The minister later denied the allegations.
Krivokapic against Brdjanin
Judging by the reactions of the prime minister whenever someone mentions head of the National Police, there’s a serious conflict between the two. Now it’s about gravel exploitation, when the PM shifted responsibility onto the head of police saying that police are allegedly deliberately late when Bemax is exploiting. A true leader would never shift responsibility onto his associates, but would take responsibility himself. The prime minister should understand that all members of the team are his responsibility. If he can’t ensure cooperation, let him dismiss them. This way he turns out to be ridiculous and without authority. Like Mirko Cvetkovic.
Carevic boycotting himself
The same story in my city. Carevic didn’t show up at the ceremony on the occasion of the Liberation Day. If he could change the date into some more “God-pleasing”, he would most likely do it. As the opposition is just beginning to recover, a tense battle is underway in the radical-clerical government. Descendants of IB members against descendants of the Chetniks. One for Stalin, the other for the king and the fatherland. Anyone familiar with the situation in Budva knows what I’m talking about. While they are arguing with each other thus pretending to be an alternative to each other, this city is sinking deeper and deeper into the grayness of crime and corruption, this time with a different sign.
Bratic’s games with FCJK
The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports says the issue with the Faculty of the Montenegrin Language and Literature happened because their employee in charge of the faculty matters has been on a sick leave since August. They also said they had paid the money. The faculty, on the other hand, says that it hasn’t received the money yet and that they’re still going to organize a rally tomorrow.
That’s all for today. Until tomorrow.
