Good morning! The lack of interest of the Montenegrin public in the elections in Serbia and the superficial knowledge of the citizens about the political processes in that country is disproportionate to Serbia’s interest in the processes in our country. The recent election proved that once again. What are the reasons for this phenomenon, and what are its consequences?

Why, In Fact, Montenegro Doesn’t Care About Serbia At All?
The results of the election in Serbia were predictable for anyone who was not fooled by the campaign in the opposition media and the results of tendentious public opinion polls. Vucic won and the Serbian World won. Hence the celebration of the Serbian president with the highest Montenegrin and Bosnian-Herzegovinian officials, on election night in front of the whole world. At the same time, buses with voters from the Serb Republic were the main topic of the election. There were probably some from Montenegro as well, but the numbers here are small, so it was not seen.
The opposition is literally in tears. And disturbed. A couple of young people ask to stay in the square, and Milivojevic convinces them to go home. Politicians have collected their mandates and good salaries, they don’t need someone to disrupt that now. Putin’s authorities listed young people, took their biometric photos and gave them to the tabloids to blacken them. The state secretary at a ministry of the Government of Serbia, a certain Dabic, who, according to his biography, was educated in Budva, joined baiting them. He called these young people “foreign agents”. The well-known methods of Putin’s Russia, along with the advanced surveillance measures typical of the Chinese regime – target youth, that is, the future of Serbia.
The German and American governments reacted to the irregularities, intimidation and election theft. In Montenegro, everyone is silent. They don’t care about democracy in Serbia. The problem is that Andrija Mandic was with Vucic. As if Milatovic and Abazovic did not visit him during the campaign.
It is really interesting how much Montenegro does not care about Serbian politics. As someone said, if you stopped someone on the street in Podgorica, Pljevlja or Bar, you would hardly be able to name more than two or three political entities in Serbia. People are not interested in the Serbian political scene. They know more about the Zadruga reality show and the Serbian show business than about politics. There, we are no different from Croatia. Have you heard that anyone expressed empathy and supported the Serbian opposition in Serbia? Do Jakov Milatovic and Dritan Abazovic have an obligation to the people who so strongly encouraged and supported them in their campaigns? Those people, who are now preparing to go on hunger strike because of the incredible pressures, were shooting commercials for Dritan. They supported the masses and the faithful people in Montenegro. Now where are those people to reciprocate their support? Where is Dritan to speak up? If for no other reason, then for universal reasons – democratic values – whatever.
Someone will say that there is poetic justice in everything that happens, that the religious processions have returned home. What for the Serbian opposition was the result of democratic changes in Montenegro, returned home as a boomerang in the form of Nestorovic’s list. Nestorovic would also be dangerous for Serbian democracy, if it were not a guided and controlled missile.
When I said about a month ago that Serbia had to “remove” Djokovic in order to replace Vucic, I was not referring to Novak as Novak, but to the ideology of which Novak is the totem and Nestorovic is the preacher. As long as Serbia is a country of “Serbian nation”, the citizens of Serbia will suffer. The citizens of Serbia are victims and hostages of the Serbian World, just like Kosovo, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The happiness of any race and nation is always paid by the citizens in the end.
That’s it for today. We wish you a pleasant rest of the day.
