Anti-Govt Protesters Rally in Montenegro

Hundreds of protesters rallied in the streets of Podgorica carrying banners "He is done" and shouting "Milo thief!" in reference to Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic.

The rally was organised by Montenegro's main opposition alliance, the Democratic Front, against the cabinet and its key members before a key parliamentary confidence vote on Monday in the government.

The Front called  on opposition MPs to vote against Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic's cabinet, which it accuses of corruption, undemocratic practices and election fraud.

The right-wing alliance, composed mostly of pro-Serbian parties, on Monday will stage another rally at the same time as MPs start debating the motion against the government.

The alliance said if any opposition MP support the government on Monday, it would be a vote against democracy, vital state interests and against the will of the citizens.

The leader of the opposition Workers Party, Janko Vucinic, called on the crowd gathered in front of the parliament to vote for no-confidence motion against Djukanovic.

Green and red cards were handed out to the protesters so they can show their vote during the rally.

The leader of the pro-Serbian party NOVA, Andrija Mandic, said that Montenegro is being "run by several foreign embassies".

"Citizens of Montenegro have to change this situation. We do not need to be obedient followers," he said.

The opposition said  that if Djukanovic falls on Monday, the opposition will suspend its campaign of protests, launched last September, declare victory and invite other opposition parties to talks on forming a interim government.
