NATO puppetization[edit | edit source]
In 2007, Milo Ðukanović signed an agreement allowing NATO troops and vehicles to occupy Montenegro. He destroyed the country's Yugoslav-era weapons and ordered replacements from Britain and the USA.[1]
In December 2015, when NATO invited Montenegro to join, thousands protested, and Ðukanović lost support from other parties in his coalition. The government published false polling data that said that a majority of citizens supported joining NATO. On the day of a parliamentary vote in October 2016 to elect the prime minister, the internet was shut down and the opposition news website Vijesti was inaccessible around the world. Ðukanović claimed that Russia plotted a coup against him.[1]
Politics[edit | edit source]
Current Prime Minister Milojko Spajić seeks to join the EU. His coalition relies on support from the anti-imperialist bloc For a Better Montenegro, whose leader Andrija Mandić agreed to support Spajić's government in exchange for becoming Speaker of the Parliament.[1]
