He is also accused of “making us so indebted to neighboring countries that in one he is persona non grata, in another he values only one entity, while in the third he should withdraw state recognition”.
The Winter Kotor Carnival, which preserves a tradition longer than half a millennium, is being held today in Kotor.
The large carnival procession set off at 2 pm from the Open Pool towards Mace, where the “guilty one for everything” is traditionally burned.
The doll with the image of Andrija Mandić is supposed to symbolize the culprit for all the troubles of that city in the past year.
The Kotor carnival Andronikos Durak aka Voštan is accused of “being guilty of all the misdeeds and serious crimes” committed against the people of Kotor in the past year.
The carnival indictment published in the newspaper "Karampana" states that he is guilty of "making the people so confused that local government cannot be formed in several municipalities, so that in the entire country it is not known who drinks or who pays; that he has established control of the executive branch and the government itself in depth and breadth, so that instead of controlling the executive branch, he beats it up as he pleases".
Carnival special prosecutor "Rufin Beskičmenjak aka Gurbet" accuses Andronikos Durak of "accelerating our path to the EU so much that they didn't even want to receive him in Brussels in the hallway".
He is also accused of "making us so indebted to neighboring countries that in one he is persona non grata, in another he values only one entity, while in the third he would withdraw state recognition".
He is also accused of "making the Parliament a personal service, so that he is more than conciliatory towards the opposition".
He is also accused of "not restoring the status of a city to the imperial and royal city of Kotor, but treating us shamefully as a populated place".
The people of Kotor reproach him for "wanting to declare the shank a national specialty". They also reproach him for "not supporting the more than justified demands of the students regarding the security of each of us", as well as "that as an opposition member he was a fighter for decentralization, and now he is a centralist regarding the issue of JP Morsko dobro".
The accused stated in his defense:
"I have tried and am constantly trying in the spirit of a saint of a sister church, and of my namesake, to reduce tensions and reconcile the people".
After being sentenced "to death by burning", the culprit stated in his carnival testament that he was leaving his people to persevere for our world, or the world "in order to maintain originality and our customs even in the EU". He left his unfinished memoirs to the opposition.
"I leave the authentic recipe for preparing shank to my comrade Pipun so that he may strengthen and bring the fight for our world to an end," the carnival testament adds.
The festival then continued on the Arms Square with performances by the Toć Ensemble and Indira Force.
The organizer is the Public Institution Cultural Center "Nikola Đurković", co-organizer is the Kotor Tourist Organization, and the patron is the Municipality of Kotor.
Let us recall that in 2023, a doll with the image of Dritan Abazović, who was then the Prime Minister in a technical mandate, was burned at the Kotor Carnival. The doll was then named "Dominik Akrobata aka. Technical".
