Left, but promised to return
The last elections in Montenegro can be called a struggle, in which, apparently, won the "military draw". As it turned out, many representatives of the fight are not averse to waving their fists after the fight. A striking example is the leader of the Democratic Socialist Party, Milo Djukanovic, who recently accused the opposition of conspiring to eliminate it.
Recall, October 16 in Montenegro ended parliamentary elections, won by a pro-European union led by former Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic.
Nevertheless, the voting results showed that in the Balkan state there is a gradual increase in discontent with the elected Assembly (Montenegrin parliament) over the course of political development. Instead of an absolute majority, about which members of the Djukanovic party dreamed, the union lost 5% of supporters in comparison with the elections-2012, receiving a little more than 40% of votes.
Obviously, under-received parliamentary seats can serve as a kind of barrier on the way to the long-standing dream of the Democratic Socialist Party to make Montenegro a full member of NATO and the European Union. As a result, the leader of the political association decided to use trivial, but proven methods of influencing the opposition.
So, October 26 Milo Djukanovic announced the voluntary resignation from the post of prime minister. Now we can say for sure: leave without the last word, was not included in the plans of the politician. On November 10, the former prime minister accused the main political opponents - the Democratic Front Party of participating in a plot to seize power and eliminate it, without specifying whether physical punishment was meant or whether the prime minister was to be removed from power. We add that similar statements by pro-European politicians of the Balkan state to the opposition over the past two weeks have adopted a systemic character.
Earlier, on November 6, the prosecutor of Montenegro for organized crime, Milivoj Katnich, had already announced the imminent terrorist act against Milo Djukanovic during the elections, which the law enforcement authorities managed to stop. Without citing any valid arguments, the law enforcement officer concluded that the organizers of the plotting plot being prepared should be considered Russian nationalists. As evidence of a sabotage that did not take place, the prosecutor’s office submitted 14 to the detained Serbs, allegedly members of the group that was preparing the coup d'état. It must be said that Katnich forgot to clarify that 20 people were initially detained, but for some reason, six, despite the severity of the charges against them, had to be released.
The events of a decade ago are involuntarily recalled when a group of Albanian saboteurs was detained during the parliamentary elections of 2006 in Montenegro. Milo Djukanovic then stated that the arrest was carried out in order to protect the rule of law and the safety of citizens. By the way, after the vote in 2006, the politician also left the post of prime minister, but after a year and a half he returned to this post. Note that the trick had a positive impact on the positions of the pro-European coalition, which in the elections in 2009 only once history got an absolute majority.
Thus, with high probability, the authorship of the “political series”, which is now being shot in the Assembly, can be attributed to the ex-premier. If we discard all unnecessary, the benefits of completing the filming of the serials, in which the fictional Serbian and Russian nationalists are trying to kill Milo, will get Djukanovic and representatives of his party.
Indeed, the preponderance of 16 of October by “socialists” over oppositional associations is quite significant, however, the absence of a majority indicates the need to find allies. As you know, the figure Djukanovic frightened many potential partners in the face of moderate parties. Therefore, his departure can be considered a temporary measure, which supporters of Juka were forced to take for the benefit of a dream to unite with Europe and NATO.
The discrediting of the Democratic Front, invented by stories about nationalists trying to seize power, is nothing more than Dzhukovich’s addition to the old trick of the “disappearance and appearance of the Prime Minister”, which can increase the chances of the expected success of creating an anti-Russian coalition in the Assembly.
A return to the methods of a decade ago - the idea is quite risky. On the one hand, 10 years ago the trick worked and brought the expected result. On the other hand, the “political bike” that Djukovic invented at 2006 was quite old and could break down on the way to NATO, but to put it simply, moderate opposition might simply not believe that Milo had left this time forever.
