Montenegro - independence and elections
09.09.2009
The people of Montenegro voted for independence from Serbia in a referendum on May 21, 2006. Montenegro is now a sovereign state,
a member of the United Nations, and recognized internationally by all major states in the world.
Montenegro's ruling coalition has claimed victory in its parliamentary election in 2009, bolstering the government's efforts to join the EU and Nato.
An official from Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic's party claimed victory in a TV broadcast in front of supporters.
The ruling bloc won more than 50% of the vote, its nearest rivals taking about 16%.
The country's leaders held the election early, saying a new mandate was needed to push through their reforms.
Hours after polls closed, the Democratic Party of Socialists' political director Predrag Sekulic told supporters the ruling coalition had won.
"This victory is even more important because it comes at a time of the speeding up of European integration and the maturing of democracy in Montenegro," he said.
