The "Europe Now" (Evropa Sad) movement wins the elections in Montenegro. It received the support of almost 26 percent of voters. In second place is the party of the recent president, Milo Djukanovic.

The result confirmed Europe Now's dominance after it took power in the capital, Podgorica, and another town in October last year and its deputy leader, Jakov Milatovic, beat incumbent Milo Djukanovic in April's presidential election.

"A significant number of citizens in Cetinje do not approve of Milatovic's politics so he could have inconveniences during the inauguration," Adzic told a parliamentary defence and security committee hearing.

On April 2, Djukanovic lost the second-round vote to Europe Now candidate Jakov Milatovic, losing power 32 years after he was first appointed Prime Minister in February 1991.

PODGORICA - Montenegro's President-elect Jakov Milatovic said on Tuesday his country's potential membership in the Open Balkan initiative needed to be discussed by the next government in Podgorica, to be elected by a new Montenegrin parliament.

Two days since Montenegro's presidential election, incumbent Milo Djukanovic's loss at the hands of 36-year-old political rookie Jakov Milatovic continued to reverberate in Serbian media.

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Monday congratulated Jakov Milatovic on his election as new president of Montenegro.

Vucic expressed the belief Milatovic would demonstrate firm willingness to ensure life in peace and progress to citizens of Montenegro, the presidential press office said in a statement.

Montenegro is likely to have a new president after the sociological institute CeMI predicted 60.1% of the vote for Jakov Milatovic, the former economy minister, over incumbent Milo Djukanovic.
