Montenegro Holds Tight Presidential Runoff Amid Political Turmoil

Montenegro is holding a run-off presidential election between incumbent Milo Djukanovic and Western-educated economist Jakov Milatovic, with unofficial results expected later today. Djukanovic has been accused of corruption and ties to organized crime, while Milatovic has pledged to curb graft and improve living standards. The election follows a year of political instability in which two governments were felled by no-confidence votes. Montenegro, which relies heavily on tourism, has a legacy of bitter divisions between those who identify as Montenegrins and those who see themselves as Serbs.
