The long-awaited Summit in Tivat and the most significant event in Montenegro in the past decade and more has come to an end. It is undoubtedly concluded that high-ranking foreign dignitaries are more than satisfied with the reception and results of this event. We presented ourselves in the best light.
Along with grape brandy soup and kačamak, Montenegro also secured the political support of the member states for its European journey. Everyone is happy and satisfied. Everyone but him! Aleksandar Vučić returned to his hometown sad and hungry. And visibly disappointed and angry.
Because his plans are ruined. Instead of returning from Tivat as a kind of winner, Vučić returns defeated. And humiliated. By himself. And with the need to explain his sweating and his poor face.
It is difficult to determine what was the goal of almost a hundred of his soldiers who came to Montenegro, but it is easy to conclude that he was not well-intentioned. On the other hand, Vučić seemed to wish for some incident, wanting to eclipse the moment for Montenegro and get an alibi for the story about Serbia as “economic” and every other tiger and leader in the Balkans. None of that. Fortunately and thanks to the foreign services.
However, there was no lack of arrogance. Accustomed to such behavior in his own country, he thought that he could behave in the same way in Montenegro. Although it can only be assumed that his chosen battalion had the intention of causing problems, I would not be surprised if they had the task of beating anyone who would throw something ugly at the Precedent. The way they do it in Belgrade.
On the other hand, the “leader of all Serbs” was visibly frustrated by the journalist’s questions, which were not directed this time. It’s like that when you become a victim of your own vacuum, and the first time you get out of it is a shocking experience.
Of course, Vučić did not miss this opportunity to insult the host – Montenegrin hospitality, Montenegrins and their capital. By his own admission, he returned home hungry and immediately decided to eat a stick of kulen to make up for the lost calories.
On the other hand, it came down to Cetinje and the revolt of the citizens of Montenegro against him. Could he have expected otherwise? His policy was so aggressive towards Montenegrins and Montenegro that the least they could do was a couple of provocative posters.
However, what was important was the fact that his visit and behavior were not greeted with enthusiasm even by the majority of Montenegrin Serbs. However, Aca is not their predecessor. It was only two days after the incident that certain branches of Vučić’s politics in Montenegro came forward. We waited and weighed for two whole days, and then, as if on cue, everyone sent a reaction in ten minutes to defend their AV! Someone would say that they are all commanded by some foreign service…
Either way, things are clearly changing. Is it the way I, as a Montenegrin, would like – not exactly, but almost. Victory is the fact that Vučić’s “Serbian world” is collapsing more and more every day. Both within himself and in those areas to which he aspires. More importantly, it makes no sense. It is very important that Aleksandar Vučić is the personification of that project. Rotten leader, rotten project.
Even though the student option does not ideologically deviate significantly from the SNS policy towards Montenegro, if they were to take over power and consolidate power, it would certainly take at least three years for them to focus on the issue of Montenegro. The only reason for supporting the protests there is the chaos that would follow the fall of Vučić, which is obviously inevitable, the only question is to what extent. We have to use it.
Certainly, these incidents were another perfect example for those who shout for Vučić in Montenegro or mourn for the former common state. I would just ask them – would they really want THAT to be your president?
