What is our vision? What are the main issues on which there will be no
compromise? What are the realistic solutions for the problems we identified
a hundred times before? These are the issues
that should be the subject of new, constructive debates, instead of mean,
fruitless exchanges which only undermine the already fragile potential for
changes, contributing only to personal

Our ministers and other decision makers have also travelled, and we paid for
their trips through the public budget, as well as for their stays in
expensive hotels out of which they could not see the specificities of the
cities they visited, so they remained with the same provincial mindset with
which they had set out on that road in the first place. The difference is
that now the roads will be open to those who have less in their pockets but
much more in their hearts and minds. This is a big change that will
contribute to the formers' political retirement, in order to ensure that
they cease smothering that "big breathing space" that Dinosa talked about
but they never managed to create. And a herald of good news for
Montenegro...
