Milatovic in the Lead

Presidential elections in Montenegro, Podgorica, March 19 2023 (BETAPHOTO/AMIR HAMZAGIC)

Will Milo Djukanovic remain the president of Montenegro for the next fives years or will he be replaced by one of the leaders of the populist Europe Now Movement Jakov Milatovic will be decided by voters on April 2 in a runoff, after none of the candidates won over 50 percent of votes in the first round. One of the key questions that will determine the outcome of the election is will the parties that won legislative elections in 2020 support Milatovic in earnest in addition to their declarative support, and will all of their voters vote for him.
