(ANSA-AFP) - PODGORICA, JUN 12 - Montenegro's new
pro-European party held a slim lead in parliamentary elections
on Sunday, according to results from a leading pollster, likely
spurring days of coalition building before a government forms.
The elections come just months after Montenegro's political
establishment was rocked when long-time leader Milo Djukanovic
suffered a crushing defeat in a presidential run-off in April to
upstart Jakov Milatovic of the Europe Now Party. Europe Now
appeared to be building on that success after it looked like
they scored 26 percent of the vote on Sunday, according to the
Centre for Democratic Transition polling group. The party
however will likely face an uphill fight to build a coalition --
which is by no means guaranteed -- to be able to form a
government. "We are very pleased with the results," said Europe
Now leader Milojko Spajc on Sunday evening. "We will sit with
everybody who shares our values... we will form a pro-European
government." The pollster showed Djukanovic's Democratic Party
of Socialists (DPS) coming in second after capturing 23 percent
of the ballots cast. (ANSA-AFP).
