Former Đukanović adviser “fears for his life”

Milo? No, he's such a good European! He does whatever the EUrocrats tell him to do, and in exchange they simply get rid of a few unpaid parking tickets. I mean that's what we're told, so that's what must be true, right?

So the man is scared for life. He should have thought about that before he allied himself with Djukanovic. He knew exactly he was getting in bed with.

Maybe the guy's paranoid, or starving for attention, or too self-important...but maybe not. Focusing on the last paragraph of the article, I've never liked the fact that people like Dukanovic and Momir Bulatovic (and maybe Svetozar Marovic, too) have seemingly been ignored by the Hague Tribunal. Senior politicians from Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia were investigated and often indicted, but why not Montenegro? Yes, there have been a few indictments handed down to senior police/military officers for heinous crimes like the deportation of Muslims to Bosnia or the massacre of Muslim civilians in at least one Montenegrin village, but to my mind, there haven't been any politicians implicated in the famous Joint Criminal Enterprise. If guys like Milan Babic, Goran Hadzic and Milan Martic can be accused of serving Belgrade masters, why not Bulatovic, Dukanovic and Marovic? Weren't they all young Milosevic proteges/beneficiaries who occupied the same political camp in the early 90s? Would they not have been the ones ultimately responsible for the mobilization of Montenegrin reservists who allegedly pillaged and plundered the area around Dubrovnik, and possibly Western Hercegovina? Is it because Montenegro was still a part of the rump Yugoslavia of that period, of which Milosevic was considered to have overall command, leaving Podgorica politicians out of the equation? I'm not sure that logic would hold, given that the assumption at the Hague has always been that Milosevic was in charge of all the Serb politicians in the region, regardless of whether they operated in rump Yugoslavia, RS or RSK. So why have the Montenegrins avoided greater scrutiny?
