Einziger Beruf, Mafia Boss: Milo Djukanovic
He is often described as having strong links to Montenegrin mafia.[8][9][10][11][12] He was listed among the twenty richest world leaders according to the British newspaper The Independent, which described the source of his wealth as "mysterious".[13]
His first real job was as the Prime Minister of Montenegro. He has
either been the President or Prime Minister for most of the nearly three
decades of his career and the life of his country. While he casts
himself as a progressive, pro-Western leader who recently helped his
country join NATO and is on track to join the European Union, he has
built one of the most dedicated kleptocracies and organized crime havens
in the world.
For his work in creating an oppressive political atmosphere and an economy choked by corruption and money laundering, OCCRP honors Milo Djukanovic, Prime Minister of Montenegro, as OCCRP’s Person of the Year for his work in promoting crime, corruption and uncivil society.

The Intensified ‘Ukrainization’ of New NATO Member Montenegro
If
the focus of this article was slightly shifted, the above title could
very well read, “The ‘Montenegrinization’ of Ukraine.” For we are
essentially talking about analogous processes: the artificial, hostile,
(geo)politically driven, outside-induced denationalization (the
stripping away or systematic dilution of ethnic identity, status,
characteristics, historical, spiritual or cultural attachments, etc.) of
a targeted state’s peripheral area(s)/frontier, or of a population in a
neighboring state that nationally/ethnically identifies or is closely
nationally/ethnically tied with the targeted state’s dominant,
state-defining nationality/ethnicity. The ultimate goal of the project
is the creation of not just a new national/ethnic identity, but one
hostile to the original.
While
the immediately targeted states in this case are Montenegro and
Ukraine, i.e., especially the parts of their populations that identify
themselves as Serbs and Russians, respectively, the ultimate targets in
question are Serbia and Russia. These two ethnically and religiously
closely related states and majority peoples are being targeted for a
single essential reason: their resistance to further NATO-led expansion
of Western-based globalist/corporate/ interests – the main difference
being that Russia’s reach and, thus, resistance potential is global,
while Serbia’s is regional (although the symbolic significance of its
existence as the last non-NATO outpost in Southeast Europe potentially
reaches far beyond regional boundaries).
Thus,
just as, following the Euromaidan coup of 2014, the Western-installed
regime in Kiev has engaged in a deliberate policy of “de-Russification” and “language genocide,”
so has the Montenegrin regime, ever since its Western-supported exit
from its state union with Serbia in 2006, on the basis of a
controversial referendum that
eliminated up to a third of potential voters that might have opposed
secession (Montenegrin citizens residing and registered to vote in
Serbia at the time) – engaged in a deliberate policy of “de-Serbization,”
in order to eliminate the influence of neighboring Serbia and, by
extension, Russia, and facilitate Montenegro’s Euro-Atlantic integration
and “evolution” into a wholly new, ahistorical identity.
After declaring the local dialect of Serbian as the new “Montenegrin” language in its first-post independence constitution in 2007, the tiny new country’s pro-Western rulers have gradually marginalized the Serbian language and its declared speakers (although
they still form a majority in Montenegro), changing school curricula in
the process, often amidst fierce opposition on the part of both parents
and pupils, eliminating the Cyrillic script from official and public use, and drastically reducing school
children’s exposure to the country’s most famous poet, Petar II
Petrovich Njegosh, a 19th century Prince-Bishop of Montenegro,
universally considered to be the greatest Serbian poet of all time.
What’s more, this process has been palpably accelerated and radicalized since Montenegro joined NATO’s “community of values, committed to the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law,” in June 2017:
- The trial for an alleged Russian and Serbian-backed October 2016 coup has
basically turned into a farce, failing to produce results even after
two years of “actively searching for irrefutable evidence,” in the words
of a recent Russian Foreign Ministry statement. (However, the “coup” served its purpose, as it allowed the regime to whip up anti-Russian hysteria and push the country into NATO half a year later without a referendum, despite protests and massive opposition.)
- Miras Dedeic, a former defrocked priest and present “metropolitan” of the canonically unrecognized Montenegrin Orthodox Church – originally registered as an NGO in the Montenegrin Ministry of the Interior in 1997 – has recently called for a “Ukrainian scenario” to resolve the church question, and is urging the government to adopt a controversial law that would nationalize the pre-1918 churches and monasteries of the Serbian Orthodox Church, which has been present on the territory of Montenegro for 800 years,
and subsequently transfer them to the jurisdiction of his schismatic
“Church.” Dedeic has already paid a visit to fellow defrocked priest and
leader of the schismatic Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kiev Patriarchate,
Filaret Denisenko (whom the Patriarch of Constantinople has recently
reinstated, as part of his controversial, US-backed drive of creating an autocephalous Orthodox Church in Ukraine) in July 2016, and has received his support.

As part of the government-led drive against the canonical Orthodox
Church, Montenegrin Prime Minister Dusko Markovic has recently threatened to remove a
mountaintop church built by the Montenegrin Metropolitanate, claiming
that it was illegally built. The Metropolitanate has repeatedly denied
this, having erected the church on the site of an older church destroyed
by the Turks in 1571. This threat is part of the regime’s broader goal
of placing the Serbian Orthodox Church – and other religious communities
– under state control, through the above-mentioned draft law........
