Montenegro is finally at a crossroads dividing “us” and “them.” This year’s awarding of the July 13th prize turned into a political bombshell. The award, one of the highest state honors, was tainted by being given to two representatives of the Chetnik movement — symbols of darkness, chauvinism, and hatred. Thousands of fallen fighters under the banner of freedom during World War II seem forgotten, while the country is split between those who defend Montenegro and those who destroy it from within.
While “our” citizens tried to preserve Montenegro’s dignity, the police responded with pepper spray and violence. Renowned architect Bata Radulović, who donated numerous projects to the state without compensation, was brutally attacked by a policeman who sprayed pepper spray into his eyes. This is the image of today’s Montenegro — a state that rewards ideologists of darkness and punishes those who truly love it.
On the other hand, politicians like Saša Mujović, who try to extend a hand of reconciliation, are labeled fascists and attacked by extremists. Protests and incidents on Statehood Day reveal deep divisions and growing intolerance in society. While some celebrate the anti-fascist tradition and fight for freedom, others glorify Chetnik leaders and spread hatred.
This situation is not just a political crisis but a moral one. The line has finally been drawn — you are either for a Montenegro that respects its heroes and values, or for those who destroy it from within. The question is how much madness will be tolerated. If there are any normal people left in Montenegro, it’s time to remove such people from power before it’s too late.
What about you? How do you see this division? Is Montenegro truly split into “us” and “them,” or is this just another political game? Drop a comment, maybe together we’ll find the answer!
