By Ljubomir Filipović, CdM observer
Death of Bosniak leader and Montenegrin patriot
Until recently, the president of the Bosniak Party and former Deputy PM Rafet Husović passed away yesterday at the age of 57, after a short illness.
Mr Husović was respected not only by the Bosniak people in Montenegro. He was the voice of reason and the guarantor of stability and interethnic harmony. May he have eternal glory and praise. The reis of the Islamic Community in Montenegro Rifat Fejzić and the mayor of Podgorica Ivan Vuković said goodbye to Mr Husović.
Lawsuit against CBRC for Tara devastation
Montenegro is suing the Chinese CRBC company for the devastation of the Tara riverbed, the executive director of the Politkon network Jovana Marović has tweeted. According to her, this is very important information, about which the entire public should be informed. The problem of concreting the riverbed and devastating the Uvač 4 location was most problematic for MANS when it happened. This Government, just like the previous one, avoids directly confronting the Chinese partners. The first interview that Deputy PM Dritan Abazović, who visited Taiwan as an oppositionist when lobbying for its recognition, gave to a foreign media after taking office was the Chinese state television.
Montenegro a victim of Serbian ambitions
Retired general and supreme commander of the allied forces in Europe (NATO) Philip Breedlove has pointed out in an interview for HINA that the Balkans in 2021 will be a place of conflict between the geopolitical interests of the West and Russia. He has also commented that Serbia will use the situation to promote its idea of a Greater Serbia to the detriment of Montenegro, Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina. This statement of General Breedlove, who is very close to the current administration in America, with his assessment that he is encouraged by the fact that America is returning to Europe, raises hope that in the case of Montenegro, the West will act more analytically and seriously.
Senad’s fear
As someone very familiar with the situation in Montenegro, Mr Senad Hadžifejzović has pointed out in an interview for the Nikšić TV that he is very worried about what is happening in our country, as well as that it reminds him extremely of the situation in Bosnia from 3 decades ago. He believes that the flourishing of nationalism and nationalist policies would be a defeat not only for Montenegro but also for the region.
Uhljebarium (collection of good positions)
Colleagues from the Croatian portal Index.hr have given us a great idea. We should make a list of all the officials getting jobs thanks to their parties these days and make a uhljebarium (collection of good positions) for some new generations. As an herbarium, instead of the withered leaves of plants, we will have the withered careers of those who, under the slogan of fighting for change, made themselves and family members happy.
Dajković should go to ecclesiastical court
Professor and civic activist Maja Miličković wrote an open letter to the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral and its administrator Bishop Joanikije on the occasion of a bizarre congratulation on 8 March by DF activist Vladislav Dajković.
Namely, in a satirical, but also serious text, Ms Miličković looks back at why Mr Dajković‘s greeting card is problematic, but also points to his hypocritical representation of Orthodox and patriarchal values, while in her video he announces in a primitive way something that is according to church rules out of wedlock and without the blessing of the church it must not happen.
The rest
URA’s official Rade Milošević is exhibiting rigor in his hometown and abusing state resources to help his party.
He announced the suspension of mass gatherings and that is good news. Also, last night, under his supervision, the police raided two locations where activists of the Niksic DPS allegedly gathered.
The Dean of the Faculty of Montenegrin Language and Literature, Prof. Adnan Čirgić PhD was a guest of Darko Šuković’s radio talk-show, when he pointed out the reasons for the protest of the students and professors of the faculty.
President Milo Đukanović has called local elections in Herceg Novi for 9 May.
So much for today. We wish you a pleasant rest of the day.
