A new parliament will be elected in Montenegro on Sunday. 15 parties and alliances are fighting for 81 seats in parliament. The “Europe Now” movement, which was formed last year, is considered to be the favorite for elections. The Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), which governed continuously between 1991 and the end of 2020, was previously the strongest parliamentary party, albeit in opposition, and remains second in the polls, according to the polls.
The election campaign was quiet until the end. However, a letter sent to Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic by alleged cryptocurrency scammer Do Kwon, who has been in a Podgorica prison since March 23, caused a stir in the last week before the election. The content was not published, but according to media reports it is said to incriminate the chairman of “Europe Now” Milojko Spajic, whose party, however, rejected the allegations.
Whether it was just a campaign aimed at taking votes away from the favorite remains to be seen. The public prosecutor’s office has not yet commented on the letter.
Around 543,000 voters can cast their votes between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. The first results are expected on Monday night.
