Election era gone

Confirmation that, for the people of Montenegro, Djukanovic’s defeat was long overdue was seen in the massive spontaneous celebratory marches across the country. People launched fireworks and chanted insulting shouts against their former leader.

According to observers, the former Minister of Economic Development in the government of Zdravko Krivokapic, Yakov Milatovic, a representative of the Europe Now movement, won the Montenegrin presidential election with about 60 per cent of the vote, while Djukanovic won 40 per cent.

However, Milatovich’s victory will not affect the pro­Western foreign policy of Montenegro. While still a minister, Milatovich supported the imposition of sanctions against Russia, and in an interview with Western media he promised to fully implement all international obligations assumed.
