Montenegro's main opposition alliance, the Democratic Front, has called for a new anti-government demonstration in Podgorica on Sunday, as a continuation of their protests in support of the demand for the "first ever fair and free" elections in Montenegro.

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

Montenegro's State Prosecutor's Office says two opposition MPs, Andrija Mandic and Slaven Radunovic, have been charged with the crime of "incitement to violent change of the constitutional order" by encouraging protesters to break into the parliament in Podgorica on October 24.

Opposition Montenegrin Democratic Front officials who were detained by the police during a protest on Saturday have been released.

B92's reporter in Podgorica said that New Serb Democracy and Democratic Front (DF) leader Andrija Mandic and MP Slaven Radunovic have been set free pending the outcome of the legal procedure against them.

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.

Montenegrin protesters on Oct. 18 hurled stones and used pepper spray against police, who retaliated with tear gas during a rally of several thousand seeking the prime minister's resignation.
