He announced that he is waiting for the parliamentary elections, because, he said, Montenegro does not have a government. Jakov Milatović marked his victory as historic, because Milo Đukanović's regime was defeated
The candidate of the Europe Now Movement Jakov Milatović won today in the second round of the presidential elections in Montenegro the current head of state Milo Đukanović, winning 60 percent of the vote, while his opponent won 40 percent, according to the final data of the Center for Monitoring and Research (CeMI) based on 100 percent of counted ballots.
Milo Đukanović, the current president, addressed the voters first.
"Montenegro chose and I respect that choice. May he be a successful president. If this is the case, Montenegro will be a successful country, which will move towards its goal," said Đukanović.

He pointed out that parliamentary elections await Montenegro on June 11, and reminded that "Montenegro does not have a government" and that "its institutions have gone astray", although "he does not want to say a word about it". The goal of those elections, he said, is to elect a government that will introduce the country to Europe.
After his speech, the journalists' question was announced. However, the question of a colleague from Vijesti was stopped by whistles. She managed to ask whether Đukanović will wait for the parliamentary elections as the leader of DPS, but she did not get an answer because Đukanović decided that he could not answer in such an atmosphere, and ended the press conference.
Fifteen minutes after Đukanović, Jakov Milatović, the new president of Montenegro, spoke.
"Tonight is the night we've been waiting for for 30 years, and let us all be lucky for this victory," said Milatović. He called the victory "historic". He emphasized that this result is a sign of the reconciliation of Montenegro "because this is the victory of the reconciliation of Montenegro".
"This is a crucial goodbye to the outdated regime of Milo Đukanović," said the new president, and welcomed "a richer, fairer, more successful, more beautiful and European Montenegro." He especially emphasized that this is the end of crime.
He announced that Montenegro will nurture "harmony and progress in the European Western Balkans" and that it will develop topics of broad importance.
Supporters interrupted Milatović's speech by chanting his name and shouting "Milo the thief".
