The election for the Constitutional Assembly of the Republic of Montenegro in the newly independent Republic of Montenegro took place on September 10, 2006, with Prime Minister Milo Đukanović claiming absolute victory for his centre-left, pro-European Union party the next day. Đukanović's Coalition for a European Montenegro, based around the Democratic Party of Socialists, won 39 seats (+1 Albanian) in the 81 seat parliament with the vote near fully counted. The opposition blocs together received 34 seats (11 for the Socialist People's Party and the Movement for Changes each and 12 for the Serbian List). There were 484,430 eligible voters.

As rival groups conceded defeat, the re-elected Prime Minister stated that, "These elections showed that Montenegro is stable and firm on its road to Europe." ^[1]

The new Movement for Changes, standing on a pro-EU, anti-corruption and economic improvement platform, took 11 seats. Other seats were won by parties representing ethnic minorities, mainly Albanian.

The parliamentary elections in Montenegro were held largely in line with OSCE commitments and Council of Europe standards for democratic elections. However a number of reappearing challenges remain to be addressed, concluded the International Election Observation Mission. Some 200 observers from 41 countries monitored the vote and the count.

"The people of the world's newest country can be proud that their first elections since gaining independence meet international electoral standards. We look forward to working with our Montenegrin parliamentary colleagues and overcoming remaining challenges", said João Soares, Head of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Delegation and Special Co-ordinator for the short-term observers, appointed by the OSCE Chairman-in-Office.

Pre-election opinion polls

One opinion poll leading up to the elections suggested Đukanović's Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) could win as much as 30%-45% of the vote, but that would still leave him needing a coalition partner. According to the same poll, the three pro-Serb opposition alliances could each win between 10% and 20% of the vote - potentially enough to unseat the prime minister if they succeed in uniting against him. All three say their main priority is to replace Mr Đukanović. However, the prime minister himself did not rule out joining forces with the main opposition bloc, led by the Socialist People's Party^[2]

Poll from the status of the parties just before the election:

• Coalition for European Montenegro - Milo Đukanović (DPS-SDP) - 31,8%
• Coalition of the Socialist People's Party of Montenegro (SNP-NS-DSS) - 20,1%
• Movement for Changes - Nebojša Medojević - 19.5%
• Serbian List - Andrija Mandić - 9.9%
• Liberals and Bosniak Party - Miodrag "Miko" Živković - 4.1%
