  Djukanovic President of Montenegro
In Bar, Djukanovic won two times more than his opponent, and similar was the case with Rozaje: the first time the difference was 9,097, and the second time 10 and a half thousand more in favour of Djukanovic.
Djukanovic and his supporters will be closely watched by the opposition and the public - forced to respect the law, as well as all agreements and contracts.
Djukanovic's victory is in this sense a torch of hope at the end of a long, dark tunnel.

 Rage Against the Regime in Serbia: Federal Elections, September 24
This is precisely why Djukanovic was asked repeatedly both by his colleagues in Serbian opposition(4), who offered a lot of understanding and solidarity(5), and by the ‘international community’ (in person by Madeleine Albright) to rethink his boycott idea(6).
Ideally Momo and Milo would have met, settled their differences and found a way for one Yugoslavia with no Milosevic, but that could be just a bit too utopian a conclusion.
Public opinion polls conducted in Montenegro show that Djukanovic is simply bluffing when he "scares" Belgrade with the prospect of a referendum on the republic's exit from the Yugoslav federation: only a third of those polled support the creation of an "independent and sovereign" Montenegro.

Milo Djukanovic was re-elected leader of the DPS (Democratic Party of Socialists) yesterday, the main party in a government coalition that is committed to holding a referendum on the independence of Montenegro from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which is formed with the Republic of Serbia.
In the recent past, Djukanovic had advocated the Federal position, but he has changed his tune so many times in the last five years that he has the political colors of a rainbow or a parrot.
It seems that with Djukanovic in power, in the feud he has carved out for himself on the Adriatic Sea a comfortable haven for bandits in the past with a complex and varied coastline; Podgorica and Belgrade are on a collision course.

Djukanovic’s regime has also armed and trained about 40,000 paramilitary police (around 7% of the total population!), just in case anything interferes with his destruction of Yugoslavia.
Djukanovic’s regime is now trying to erase those centuries of Montenegro’s Serb identity by inventing the new language, history, culture and even favoring the western, Latin alphabet — though Njegos had written in native, Cyrillic Serbian.
It is certainly odd for Djukanovic to ignore the "warnings" of the US and NATO — unless one looks better at them and realizes they are generally mild and toothless, focusing on "unilateral action" and "violence." Certainly, if Djukanovic wins the referendum and declares independence unopposed, there will be no violence.

The statements of some opposition leaders from Serbia claiming that Montenegro wants to remain within Yugoslavia are only a thin disguise for destructive actions of Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic and a part of the Serbian opposition bloc given that there is no mention whatsoever of Yugoslavia in their joint statement, Tanjug alleged in its commentary.
The state news agency commented that while Milo Djukanovic was pretending that he was in favour of preserving Yugoslavia, myopic Serbian opposition was actually getting the job done for Djukanovic and their foreign mentors.

Under pressure from the EU Mr Djukanovic agreed in 2002 to a revamping of Yugoslavia as a loosely-knit union of Serbia and Montenegro -- but only on condition that a referendum on independence could be held after three years.
Mr Djukanovic's reluctance to make the union function caused resentment among European politicians, who argued that it would be easier for Serbia and Montenegro to integrate with the EU if they stayed together.
Meanwhile, as the union's three-year trial period was about to end, Mr Djukanovic took another gigantic gamble earlier this year by yielding to the EU's insistence that the vote for independence should secure at least 55% of the turnout to be valid.
