https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/3/16/montenegros-president-dissolves-parliament-ahead-electionMontenegrin President Milo Djukanovic has issued a decree to dissolve parliament, days before a presidential election.
The move on Thursday came as a three-month legal deadline expired for former top diplomat and prime minister-designate Miodrag Lekic to form a government.
According to the country’s constitution, an election should be called a day after the parliament is dissolved. The president must set a date for a new parliamentary vote 60 to 100 days after the decree.
The parliament was dismissed before Montenegrins were due to go to the polls on Sunday to elect a president. Djukanovic, who has held high-ranking political posts in Montenegro for the past 30 years, is one of seven candidates.
