Elections in Montenegro are the first in more than 30 years that do not feature Milo Djukanovic, Europe's longest-ruling contemporary politician,
Euronews reports.
Montenegro’s Europe Now Movement (PES) has won a snap election, according to preliminary results.
But the recently formed pro-EU, centrist party doesn't have enough support to form a government on its own.
PES received 25.6% of the vote, based on a projection by the Center for Monitoring and Research (CEMI).
“Tomorrow is a new day,” said its leader Milojko Spajic. “We are not going to be arrogant, and we will sit down with anyone who shares our values. We will obviously form a new pro-European government.”
Montenegro held an early parliamentary election on Sunday. It could put an end to deep political divisions and years of instability, which have hampered the small Balkan country's path to EU membership.
Yet, the turmoil is likely to continue, with no clear winner and difficult coalition talks ahead.
