Authorities, Opposition in Draw After Parliamentary Elections in Montengro

 

The four seats in Montenegro's parliament won by the small opposition, pro-Europe coalition Black on White (Crno na Bijelo) coalition which took part in elections for the first time will most likely decide who will form the new government, according to the first unofficial results of Sunday's parliamentary elections, the Center for Monitoring (CeMI) said after 88 percent of the vote was counted.

That means that the Montenegrin opposition could take power in Montenegro if nothing unusual happens overnight, bringing an unprecedented event in the country’s recent history: a ruling party losing elections that it called.

Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic’s Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) has been in power practically unchallenged since the time of Socialist Yugoslavia but has won less than 35 percent of the vote, which means just 29 of the 81 seats in parliament.

The strongest opposition coalition rallied around the Democratic Front (For a Better Montenegro) won just under 33 percent of the vote or 28 seats. A second opposition coalition Peace is our Nation (MIR) won 12.5 percent or 10 seats and the Black on White coalition won 5.7 percent or four seats. The Social Democrat Party (SDP), a traditional partner of the ruling DPS, will get three seats if it passes the vote threshold.

The remaining seats went to national minority parties.

The three opposition coalitions have a total of 42 seats according to unofficial results, giving them a majority in parliament.

The Black on White coalition leaders said during the election campaign that they will insist on an expert government instead of a government formed by politicians.

The DPS declared victory as soon as the first results were released but fell silent later and did not give statements to the media by the time this issue of V.I.P. was closed.

Opposition declares victory: The leader of the opposition coalition For a Better Montenegro Zdravko Krivokapic declared victory just before midnight, saying that he would extend a hand of cooperation and reconciliation to anyone interested. He said that he would invite minority parties into the ruling coalition.

Krivokapic called opposition followers to remain at home and not take to the streets to celebrate warning that “the regime is waiting for an opportunity to stage something again”.

He told his followers that Freedom Has Come Montenegro and they should Victory, Victory back at him.
