POLITICAL WAR OVER THE JULY 13TH AWARD: MANDIĆ AND ADŽIĆ IN FIERCE CLASH
Welcome to the Montenegrin political soap opera where the July 13th Award has turned into a battlefield for political brawls! While the country wrestles with its own demons, Andrija Mandić and Filip Adžić are engaged in a war that could shake the foundations of state functions.
What happened?
Filip Adžić from GP URA spares no words. He claims that Andrija Mandić, the President of the Parliament of Montenegro, has “completely exposed his political agenda” and thereby signed the end of his political career in state functions. Adžić harshly criticizes Mandić’s moves as scandalous and harmful to Montenegro, especially in the context of awarding the July 13th Award – one of the most important dates in Montenegrin history.
Who skipped the celebration?
At last night’s award ceremony at Vila Gorica, the atmosphere was far from festive. Neither the Vice Presidents of the Parliament, nor the relevant ministers, nor the heads of state and government attended. Even one laureate, Miloš Karadaglić, refused to accept the award! Protests outside Vila Gorica cast a shadow over the event, while attendees were mostly MPs and officials from the coalition led by Mandić, as well as representatives of the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Montenegrin army.
Why does this matter?
The July 13th Award symbolizes the fight against corruption and for Montenegro’s European path. Adžić emphasizes that one of the best decisions was to prevent Mandić from holding any state function, as his actions “harm Montenegro” and “destroy institutions.” This is not just a conflict over an award but a battle for the country’s future and its European integration.
What’s next?
Adžić predicts that after the next elections or government reconstruction, the question of Mandić’s political influence will become even more relevant. Will Montenegro manage to rid itself of the “brakes on the European path” or will political games continue at the expense of citizens?
Conclusion
While political elites quarrel over symbols and awards, ordinary citizens watch as the country battles its demons. Is this the end of an era or just the beginning of a new political drama? One thing is certain – the July 13th Award has never been more important and controversial.
So, what do you think? Who’s to blame for this political soap opera? Has Mandić really signed the end of his career, or is this just another show for the public? Drop a comment and let the people’s voice be heard!
