Once upon a time there was a lady and her name was Ljilja

"Juronews journalists do not know who wrote the pamphlet-announcement" ("Vreme", April 20, 2025)

I don't know Nemanja Rujevća, I have no idea who he is or what he is, so this goes to Filip Shwarm, whom I have known for thirty years or more.

So, Philip, please, would you be so kind as to ask that NR to explain to you, and then explain to me, a few things:

First, why didn't he ask me if I had written something or not? Or has it ceased to be a practice in "Time"? Have you switched to ambush journalism, or snitch and tip-off journalism, or simply don't have phones? What?

At the time when you and I were in "Time", I don't remember it being like that. So, when I wrote about the events in "Politica", I also called Žika (Minović Živorad) and Struja (Antić Hadži Dragan), people gave me statements, no problem.

Furthermore, ask the person in question to explain to you what he meant by the sentence: "Some sources of "Vremena" from the editorial office..."?!

What the fuck, Philip? Where is Mrs. Ljilja? To pull out the ears of the person in question, and make him explain to himself a hundred times what he wanted to say. What sources of "Time"? From which editorial office? Ours or theirs? Sources from the "Vremena" editorial office, or "Vremena" sources from the "Juronujza" editorial office? What does he write when he doesn't even understand himself? Wittgenstein, Philip, Wittgenstein, for starters, put the book in his hands:

"What can be to say, can be to say clearly; and what about can't be done to talk about it se "must remain silent."

Accordingly, dear Ljilja would ask him further, what, exactly, in journalism, a precise profession, does "Some" mean? Some, what? Language forensics? Some people? Some rats? Pigs? I don't know who is in "Vremen" today, so please explain to me. And that, and what newsroom you are from.

At the same time, I strongly doubt that you are that "Someone", you know enough about me, just like the other way around.

And I hope you also know, excuse me, I'm sure you know, that a joke that reads: "such a cynical and pathetic dictionary irresistibly reminds Ivan Radovanović...", is nonsense par excellence, for which Ljilja would calmly shoot us, and then spit on our grave.

Nothing in this world can be cynical and pathetic at the same time, since it is the same thing "frogs and grandmothers", unless the author seriously messed up. After all, you worked with Miša Vasić, an old cynic, there was nothing pathetic about him. And he knew more about my dictionary than everyone in "Vremen" and "Juronujuz" together today, whoever "Neki" is among them. If you don't believe, here you are, so explain it to him.

Let's move on. After all this nonsense, there is the next one, about me: "One of the main media employees of the government of the Serbian Progressive Party"?

Well, my Philip. If I were an editor, and someone wrote this for me, I would kill myself, my mother. Since I wouldn't have the strength to explain to him, and he wouldn't understand either, the old rule says it well - if it's not clear in your head, it's not clear on paper either. What should you say to the unfortunate?

How much do you have to sink in order to draw to him, bewildered and empty, how the very word "deputy" is a rather stupid post card, since it can be derived either from the word "employee", or from the Croatian version of the same, which means: "a person who does work of general interest", and in both cases it serves to prevent someone from saying anything, and at the same time, the unfortunate person, is convinced that he has said everything.

I don't do any work of "general interest", he does even less, and I'm not employed by SNS, nor in any media, whoever it belongs to.

To say that I am "the main one" is the ultimate stupidity, since, unlike this one who confused and swindled everything, and that "Someone", I do not have a similar ambition, I have seen a lot of the main ones, I would not even imagine myself in that form. Especially not in the form of "chief journalist", I left that job twenty-three years ago.

And so on, and so on, a shaker in the head, a shaker on paper, in which, at the same time, the main thing was skipped:

Personally, the evening before "Juronjuz" published anything, I suggested in Minje Miletić's show that journalists (newsrooms) react to what is happening to people from RTS, that they organize themselves, ask for a reaction from the authorities, help them.

And, well, they listened to me. And I'm not in charge. Nor, apart from columns, did I write anything for "Juronuj".

I believe that you will be able to explain to him how to reach that position himself.

And that, unlike me, he becomes the main one.

Which would really be "cynically pathetic", but it doesn't matter, it goes with him, I guess this profession didn't deserve anything else. Damn it, when Ljilja is gone.
