Milo Djukanovic, who’s seeking another term as Montenegro’s president, won the most votes in a Sunday ballot though he fell short of outright victory, state broadcaster RTCG reported, citing a local polling group.
Djukanovic, 61, who led the Adriatic nation to independence from fellow former Yugoslav republic Serbia in 2006 and later into NATO, won 35.3% of the votes cast against 29.3% for runner-up Jakov Milatovic, a former economy minister and Oxford-educated banker nominated by an upstart, pro-European Union party, according to Podgorica-based Center for Monitoring and Research.
