PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) — Montenegro’s president has dissolved parliament and paved the way for an early parliamentary election. President Milo Djukanovic issued a decree dissolving parliament on Thursday, three months after Montenegro’s last government fell in a no-confidence vote. Djukanovic is expected to set a date for the early election on Friday. He is running for reelection in Montenegro’s presidential election on Sunday. Analysts predict the voting will not produce a clear winner and that the pro-Western incumbent will face one of several challengers in a runoff two weeks later.
