 
The results of the parliamentary elections are being summed up in Montenegro.
According to preliminary data, the opposition coalition "For the Future of Montenegro" is winning.
Thus, it can replace the Democratic Party of Socialists, which, led by President Milo Djukanovic, ruled the country for 30 years.
Supporters of the coalition are already celebrating on the streets, but its leader Zdravko Krivokapic nevertheless urged to wait for the official results:
“Voter turnout has become a record high. time with a mandate. IIt was about 77%, which means that the regime has fallen.
Now the best solution would be to create an expert government with a limited time mandate.
This government can last for two or three years. But without an expert government, there will be no progress.
And it will not be important how many parties this government will include.
The Parliament of Montenegro has one chamber and 81 seats; 11 parties and coalitions fought in elections.
Yelena Guskova, Russian expert on Balkan, will tell us what were electoral promises of the opposition.
They promised in their campaign to restore the relationship with Russia, to give back to the Serbian Orthodox Church all stolen property (by communists)
and abolish the law (by Djukanovic regime that confiscates churches and monasteries in Montenegro)
and reconsider their relationship with NATO. though this issue is the most complex and difficult one.
It is also important to restore good relationship with Serbia. The opposition also wants this.
And open the border between Serbia and Montenegro as it was always before.
Despite the preponderance in favor of the opposition, experts remind about the experience of past years.
In 2016, the opposition was close to victory, but the ruling party managed to bribe two deputies, thus forming a majority, and forming a government.
The anti-government sentiment in Montenegro is very strong this year.
Mass protests gripped the country when Djukanovic started to created independent Montenegrian church separated from the cannonical Serbian Orthodox Church
Political analysts noticed it was done similar to the Ukrainian scenario.
However, the President of Montenegro still refuses to admit defeat in the elections.
So with regard to the mandates: the data is still coming in, it is too early to talk about the final results.
We and our partners have received 40 mandates so far. The fight for the majority in parliament continues, let's wait for the official data of the election commission.
