Good morning! I heard about Zoran Korac for the first time yesterday. Vijesti presents him as an all-powerful lobbyist. And Korac obviously likes to mention names. Who is that man and is he forming our government?

What does interview with Zoran Korac tell us?
I underline that I do not know who he is, but I draw conclusions based on his answers to Vijesti journalists and their excerpts from the gentleman’s biography.
Based on everything, it could be concluded that this is another Montenegrin vagabond-adventurer who managed to build personal relationships with some powerful people in the West with Balkan charm, sell them to powerful people in the Balkans, and profit by bringing people together and mediating between interests – financially or by hearing.
It would be nice if someone wrote a book about such people. The more successful and less successful ones: from Ratko Knezevic, through Vuletic from Germany to, now Mr. Korac.
Based on how he suddenly “transparently” leaked everything to the media, my intuition tells me that this is a man who should not be trusted. A man who so casually mentions names of powerful people and recounts personal conversations is not someone you can trust with your fears and hopes.
I don’t know who he supported in yesterday’s interview, but he certainly did not help Spajic, whom he praises. The agenda is the most similar to that of Z. Ivanovic, who wants to reconcile Dritan and Milojko. It somehow fits the genre for me, considering Zeljko’s tendencies towards such behind-the-scenes political intrigues.
All in all, yesterday’s whole story tells us a lot about the leadership of our country. It also gives us an insight into how these people decide, and who their authorities are. How easy it is to come here with a bag full of quick solutions and an impressive rolodex, and immediately get everyone’s attention.
If it is not about a vagabond and a free shooter, as Korac wants to portray himself, then it is again about some diabolical BIA operation.
As someone who does not engage in behind-the-scenes intrigues and observes and analyzes politics exclusively on the basis of open-source data, I cannot say that I know for sure that someone is someone’s agent, but based on what has been said and done, I can suspect that someone is either an agent of some services or an agent of someone’s influence. An agent or an asset. I don’t understand that very well either, but the role of this man and people like this is more than dubious to me. I find it interesting that they are always present in one media in Montenegro. Vuletic even writes columns for it.
All in all, this is an excellent example of an inherited bad habit that Montenegro must get rid of. Good politicians who want to do something do not need mediators, fixers and spinners. The presence of such people in their vicinity will compromise them sooner or later. There are many of them both in the country and abroad. They usually put on the cloak of a think tank or an NGO and trade influence through them. As we said, it’s a relic of the past that we should leave behind.
That’s it for today and this week. We wish you a pleasant weekend. See you again on Monday.
Kind regards,
