Milo Djukanovic

Montenegro's strongest opposition alliance, the Democratic Front, announced a fresh anti-government protest for Saturday in the coastal town of Herceg Novi, demanding the formation of a transitional government in place of Prime Minister Djukanovic, who has been in power since the early 1990s.

Montenegro has granted 203 honorary citizenship to "prominent" figures in summary procedures since 2008, report says.

According to the same report, of that figure, 195 were proposed by Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic .

Russia's Foreign Ministry denied having role in opposition protests in Podgorica as Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic again pointed the finger at Moscow as the alleged organizer of anti-goverment demonstrations.

Montenegrins who have been protesting for weeks for the resignation of veteran Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic's government took to the streets led by an opposition which is calling for fair elections and a tougher fight against corruption and organised crime.

Montenegro's strongest opposition alliance, the Democratic Front, vowed on Sunday to continue and strengthen its "fight for freedom", after two of its officials were arrested when police broke up an anti-government demonstration late on Saturday in Podgorica.

Police in Montenegro on Oct. 24 fired teargas for the second successive weekend to break up around 5,000 protesters who marched on the parliament demanding the resignation of veteran Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic and snap elections. 

Police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse anti-government demonstrators in the capital city Podgorica on Saturday evening, after protesters tried to enter the parliament building.

The strongest opposition alliance, the Democratic Front, will stage a new rally in the capital Podgorica on Saturday to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic and early elections.

Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic on Thursday said that his government had full legitimacy and will not quit in the face of opposition protests in the capital, Podgorica.

Milo Djukanovic justified his country's vote recommending Kosovo's admission to UNESCO by saying Podgorica "doesn't pursue its policy based on calculations."
