Voting centers will open tomorrow from 08:00 and close at 20:00.<\/p>\n<p>Montenegro plays a key role in the stability of the Western Balkans. Also, it is an important factor for NATO, as it offers full control of the Adriatic coast. Beyond that, it has the status of the most successful country in the region in terms of the integration process in the EU.<\/p>\n<p>Montenegro has about a third of its inhabitants who declare themselves as Serbs. Relations with the Serbian Orthodox Church have long divided the country into two camps &#8211; one that seeks close ties between the state and the Church, and the other that advocates a distance from the Church, claiming that the Church personifies Serbia&#8217;s continuing influence.<\/p>\n<p>From 2020, when the government of Djukanovic was overthrown, two more governments were overthrown in Montenegro due to internal conflicts. Currently, a technical government is in office, headed by Dritan Abazovi\u0107, who was also part of the Krivokapi\u0107 Government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, the electoral campaign for Sunday&#8217;s parliamentary elections in Montenegro ended and today the country is officially in electoral silence.
