Lobbying in the USA: Montenegro withdraws from the contract, Serbia signs new ones
Providing lobbying services in the US is a legal and lucrative business. Montenegrin taxpayers, for example, pay a lobbyist to arrange for Dritan Abazović to be photographed with the Biden couple. The only question is what Montenegrin citizens get out of it. The same question applies to Serbia: are paid American lobbyists working to improve the image of the country, or Aleksandar Vučić

What is actually happening in Montenegro: Applied political absurdity
The situation in Montenegro is mostly similar to "Cases" by Danilo Harms. It could be called an applied political absurdity in which judges of the Constitutional Court are drawn out of a hat, and parliamentary majorities disappear as if in some magic trick.
Constitutional-legal blockade in Montenegro and local elections
Autumn of general dissatisfaction
Possible extraordinary elections would not bring a solution that would mean an easy way out of the current situation. Why? The DPS would not be able to win a majority to form a new government, and the bloc against the party of Milo Đukanović (pictured) would once again find itself in total imbalance.

Political crisis in Montenegro: Fear of the victory of Milo Đukanović
The fundamental contract between Montenegro and the Serbian Orthodox Church was signed, but in a way that deepened the political crisis. In order to remain in power, Dritan Abazović would have to agree to a new reconfiguration of the government, which is moving further and further away from what the decades-long opposition promised the citizens after winning the parliamentary elections two years ago. The only correct way out of the complicated situation would be repeated parliamentary elections, but this is postponed due to the fear of the triumphant victory of Milo Đukanović's DPS

The announced visit of the Prime Minister of Montenegro Dritan Abazović to Serbia will be only the fifth visit of a Montenegrin official in the last ten years.

Abazović's minority government: There is no place for DPS, but there is room for its partners

The fall of Zdravko Krivokapić's Government: As it came, so it went
It is a political absurdity that a significant part of the causes that brought the government into the fall zone is connected with what brought Zdravko Krivokapić to the position of prime minister. The rallies, which generated a critical mass for the removal of Milo Đukanović's regime, also increased the ambition of the spiritual authorities to penetrate deeply into political life and transform themselves into a real force that would influence the secular state. This fact became a counterweight to the European path of Montenegro and greatly encouraged the conflict between two value systems and different visions of democracy.
