Ten to Eight – Today Dritan Becomes Prime Minister

Good morning! Today we get a new, long-awaited, government; DF still won’t go to Cetinje; bomb threats sent to 200 emails of schools and institutions yesterday; Dragan Bursac is starting to cooperate with CdM.

What I am especially glad about is that yesterday they started cooperation with Dragan Bursac, an award-winning Bosnian-Herzegovinian journalist, and the first column he wrote for CdM was on the topic of provocation in Cetinje.

CdM continues to strengthen its capacity in this way. In addition to Dragan’s, the latest column by Andrej Nikolaidis called Three Jokes for Our New Government was published yesterday.

Dritan becomes prime minister today

Today, we will probably hear for the last time how Dritan Abazovic speaks about himself in the third person as a prime minister. As of today, we will listen and enjoy when he says “the Prime Minister is angry”, “the Prime Minister is not satisfied” and the like. This may seem like a frivolous comment, but the narcissistic moments of political leaders say a lot about their leadership style, which again says a lot about their understanding of politics and their democratic capacities.

Yesterday, Abazovic announced the final list of ministers, and that is what we more or less already knew.

A decision on the appointment of the Speaker of Parliament has been prepared for today’s session, and Danijela Djurovic, a member of the SNP from Herceg Novi, is planned for that position. The SNP has thus gained undeserved dominance in both Parliament and the Montenegrin government.

Yesterday, the future prime minister was in Budva, where a new committee of this party was established. Some previous key people of the DPS are part of the committee now, and the committee itself was taken over by Blazo Radjenovic, former leader of the Liberal Party Budva, and advisor to two former DPS mayors – Lazar Radjenovic and Srdja Popovic.

One management solution has also been announced. Rade Milosevic from URA will take over the management of customs and taxes.

However, the constructive opposition from the Front is not coming to Cetinje today. They changed their minds because of the scene in front of the Cetinje Monastery, which was provoked by irresponsible SPC priests.

Democrats continue to criticize, and it is expected that their people from the Parliament administration will try to obstruct the course of the session.

Continued bomb threats

“Many bombs were planted on the territory of schools. We always dreamed of revenge. We will take revenge. We’ll come to school. We will kill everyone. No one will stay alive. The whole city will bleed.”

That was the message that shook the whole of Montenegro yesterday.

The one who brought Vladislav Pozdnyakov to Montenegro, also brought trauma to the children who had to go home yesterday, for the second time. The stress and anxiety of parents – all those who have been feeding extremism in Montenegro for years are to blame for this. DF in cooperation with the Church of Serbia and the states of Serbia and Russia. While we are waiting for information on who is the perpetrator of these threats, which will not be so important, we do not have the instruments to finally punish those who have been destabilizing Montenegro for years through threats of violence, kidnapping, Ukraine and the like.

Yesterday, a report of a bomb was sent to 200 addresses, and the police provided security for schools and institutions. The Ministry of Education decided to suspend classes in all schools. The deserted playgrounds in mid-spring looked eerie and reminded us of what hatred and extremist nationalist politics is doing in Ukraine these days.

The Police Directorate announced that the reports of bombs in 41 schools throughout Montenegro were fake, and that all preconditions were created for the uninterrupted teaching. The Police added it was working on identifying the perpetrators.

That’s all for today. We wish you a pleasant rest of the day.

Kind regards,

Ljubomir Filipovic, CdM analyst
