The President of the Municipality of Pljevlja, Dario Vraneš, was questioned by the police because he sang Serbian songs to the gusle in front of the Holy Trinity Monastery in that town at a traditional folk gathering on the occasion of the church slava.
Vraneš stated on Instagram that this did not happen even during the DPS rule.
“This didn’t even happen during the time of DPS. Yesterday, I was giving a statement at the police station because I sang Serbian songs to the gusle in front of the Holy Trinity Monastery. I have been singing those same songs with my people since 1990, but until now, no one has called me to the police. Right here, in front of our ancient sanctuary from the Nemanjić era, I learned the first verses of the songs: ‘Who says that, who lies that Serbia is small’, ‘Oh Duke Sinđelić’, ‘The Serbian trumpet is heard from Kosovo’, ‘From the head of Zeta to the town of Spuž’, and many others. We are from Pljevlja, we sing and we will sing! Next year in Prizren,” Vraneš wrote.
For the police Record, he said that on May 31, he was the kum-host of the Temple Slava of the Holy Trinity Monastery.
“Like every year after the completion of the liturgy and the breaking of the slava cake, a feast of love – lunch for the guests – was arranged on the terrace of the Monastery’s quarters. The slava itself was attended by about 3,000 people, guests, during the day. Throughout the entire day, I sang dozens of Serbian songs to the gusle with the believing Serbian people. Among other things, from the current video recording, I sang the song ‘From the head of Zeta to the town of Spuž’ as well as the song ‘Đurišić, young major, commander of Montenegro, Montenegro and Sandžak where the five-pointed star cannot go. The five-pointed star because it is no good, it doesn’t want King Peter’. Among the numerous guests, Vladislav Dajković, who was visiting Pljevlja yesterday, also came to the mentioned gathering. In connection with this, I have nothing more to declare,” stands in the Record, which Vraneš published on social networks.
