Montenegro rally in support of president and EU

Thousands of supporters of Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic gathered in Podgorica's main square on Sunday. Following the election's results, Montenegro's pro-Serbs and pro-Russia opposition parties have already declared victory and announced a coalition that would expel the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), which has ruled Montenegro since the 1990s.

The long-ruling DPS won most votes in last Sunday's ballot, around 35 percent, according to preliminary official results. The party and its leader, President Djukanovic, has been a key Western ally in pushing the unstable Balkans toward Euro-Atlantic integration.
