An Oxford-educated economist won Sunday’s presidential runoff in Montenegro, rallying voters fed up with more than three decades of political dominance by incumbent Milo Djukanovic.
Jakov Milatovic, a 36-year-old former banker, got 60% of votes, compared with 40% for Djukanovic, state broadcaster RTCG reported. It cited the Podgorica-based Center for Monitoring and Research, which conducted a parallel count from 90% of a nationwide sample of polling stations.
A relative newcomer who co-founded a political party only last year, Milatovic promised renewed economic reforms and pledged to root out corruption to bring the NATO member state of 620,000 people closer to European Union membership.
