The elections in Montenegro, Veteran Djukanovic will face in the second round

Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic, a veteran politician who has served in the highest state office for 33 years, will face former pro-Western economy minister Jakov Milatovic in the second round of the presidential election, as neither secured enough of a majority for a victory in Sunday's election.

The Center for Monitoring and Research in Podgorica said that according to the preliminary results, the current president and the candidate of the Democratic Party of Socialists, Milo Djukanovic, won the largest number of votes, namely, 35.4 percent.

The candidate of the Civic Movement "Europe Now", Jakov Milatovic, won 29.3 percent. The candidate of the pro-Serbian and pro-Russian Democratic Front, Andrija Mandiç secured 19.1 percent of the votes. The other four candidates received from 10.9 to 0.8 percent of the votes.

The Center for Democratic Transition announced that 344,700 voters participated in the presidential elections, which is 63.6 percent of the 542,154 citizens with the right to vote. According to the reports of the observers and the State Election Commission, the election day passed relatively peacefully, without any significant irregularities that could disrupt the election process.

In the second round of elections, which will be held in 14 days, on April 2, the two candidates who received the largest number of votes will compete.

This is the fourth presidential election since the restoration of independence, but this time the presidential elections took place in an environment of institutional and political crisis. In recent years, the unstable and heterogeneous parliamentary majority replaced two governments, which plunged Montenegro into an institutional crisis and further deepened divisions on the political scene.

As of 2020, there has been no progress in the negotiation process for membership in the European Union due to insufficient achievements in the reform process. The small country on the Adriatic became a member of NATO in 2017, after a failed coup attempt in 2016 that the government blamed on Russian agents and Serbian nationalists. Moscow rejected such claims./VOA
