Milo Djukanović – the way to the top
Abstract
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This article is the first in a series describing the years of youth and the rise to power of a key Montenegrin politician – Milo Djukanović. The aim of this article is to trace the influence of various external factors on his political decisions and actions.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The years of youth and the environment in which the politician grew up had a huge impact on the direction he adopted. Brought up under the watchful eye of his father – a judge and member of the Communist Alliance of Montenegro, he was interested in politics from an early age. He quickly climbed the career ladder. Enthusiasm, accurate observations, and accurate statements made him noticed by Slobodan Milošević. The article poses questions about the Djukanović phenomenon. What is the mastery of his political tactics?
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: Following the fate and political career of Djukanović, it is difficult not to pay attention to the politician’s attitude. The fact that he had a strong family support, grew up in an environment with revolutionary views, had the audacity to dream, gave him the strength to fight for Montenegro’s independence. Loved by crowds, but also hated by them. Accused of corruption, links with the criminal world, a master of political tactics, but also its silent hostage.
RESEARCH RESULTS: Milo Djukanović is second to none. His dizzying career and popularity elevated him to the pinnacle of politics, enabling him to establish numerous friendships and getting involved with the most prominent personalities.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: In a small country like Montenegro, there is a thin line that separates what is decent and allowed from what is politically incorrect and illegal. In his career, Djukanović has often balanced between what is politically correct and what is illegal and immoral.
