Montenegro: Djukanovich’s defeat

On August 31, parliamentary elections were held in Montenegro. According to initial data, the victory was won by representatives of the opposition party. Thus, the people of Montenegro finally voted out Milo Djukanovic, who had ruled the country since 1991.

Djukanovic, who is accused of having ties to the Italian and Albanian mafia in recent decades was a loyal Western satellite and even brought Montenegro into NATO despite mass protests and the positions of the influential Orthodox Church of the country.

Djukanovic, however, refuses to admit his defeat, despite the coalition “For Montenegro’s Future” and several other opposition parties and movements receiving a total of 50.3% of the vote, the ruling Democratic Party of Socialists – 33%.

Now everything depends on whether the opposition can create a stable coalition to oust Djukanovic from power.
