Ten to Eight – Dialogue time

You are reading a daily contextual review of the news that marked the previous weekend.

By Ljubomir Filipović, CdM observer

It is obvious that incompetence and the impossibility of overcoming differences within this Government harms the interests of this state and this society. Dialogue within the parliamentary majority will not solve anything. Prof. Srdja Pavlovic talks in an interview for AntenaM about how dysfunctional this Government is and how meaningless every story is about the fact that reshuffling will solve anything. In his latest column or commentary, Andrej Nikolaidis talks about how important the initiative is for launching wider dialogue in Parliament.

And how right they both are is proved by the relations in the ruling coalition, while Slaven Radunovic attacks and makes fun of the Prime Minister, and while they say that Becir Vukovic, recently the head of the jury for the 13 July award, does the same thing, the Prime Minister’s cabinet is arguing with the President. Democrats are now bothered by Becir Vukovic, but they did not mind him being chosen in the jury for one of the most prestigious Montenegrin awards. The Democrats blame the DF of removing the Government, and Milan Knezevic accuses the Democrats of hiding behind Zdravko Krivokapic. Nothing new in the ruling coalition.

Incident in Cetinje

Immediately after the news appeared in the media that Belgrade was preparing to purge the so-called autonomists in the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro, and that Fr. Gojko Perovic was recognized as the leader, an incident took place in Cetinje in which Fr. Perovic participated. Namely, he filed a report against one person for assault and insult. The police reacted and said that there was no physical confrontation, but that there was a verbal conflict. A group of residents of Cetinje addressed the public with a different view of the situation. Activists Hajdana Huter, Ivana Pajovic and Svetlana M. Pajovic did the same. The Democrats and their leader Aleksa Becic sided with Fr. Perovic.

Stripping Bratic of MNE citizenship?

A little over a month ago, I launched an initiative to revoke Vesna Bratic’s citizenship because I believed that the conditions for that had been met in accordance with the law. Namely, as the Minister has two citizenships, and her behavior has undoubtedly harmed the reputation and interests of this country, such a sequence of events is necessary. Dnevne Novine wrote about this yesterday.

Lack of cytostatic drugs

There are no drugs, and the former Fund director Sead Cirgic has been warning about that for a long time. Now we are talking about the most critical and most vulnerable patients. Those who are fighting the battle of life these days have been returned from the Clinical Center of Montenegro due to the lack of cytostatic drugs, necessary for the treatment of cancer patients, and all due to the late adoption of the budget. Some cancer patients have come to Podgorica these days to receive therapy, but without any success.

Protest in Herceg Novi

A protest against the screening of the documentary called Montenegro – A Divided Country by Boris Malagurski was organized on Friday in Herceg Novi. Police prevented an incident between opponents and supporters of Malagurski’s work in front of the Park hall, where the film was presented.

Queen’s Beach “liberated”

Since the opening of Sveti Stefan, Queen’s Beach, King’s Beach and Gostinska Beach have been reserved for guests of this hotel. Although that is not entirely true. Thirty percent of the beaches were always free of furniture according to the law. Out of 22 beaches in Budva, two and a half were reserved for a hotel that serves to advertise the entire tourist product. Today, many populistically celebrate the liberation of beaches, although the fact is that almost every other beach is 70% occupied by tenants in both Budva and Montenegro. But look at what the beaches I’m talking about look like today – illegally renting umbrellas, selling coffee from thermoses, and beer, juices and food from refrigerators. That is the message we send to guests, but also to investors. Who’s next? Porto Novi, Porto Montenegro, Lustica Bay?

Montenegrin convoy in New York

Our emigrants gathered in front of the UN building in New York to give support to “progressive forces that defend the fundamental values ​​of civil, secular and anti-fascist Montenegro”. Thank them for that!

That’s it for today. See you tomorrow at the same time and in the same place.
