Milo Đukanović, president of Montenegro, is Pro-EU/Pro-Western and Pro-NATO

I have no doubt Putin brought up Montenegro to Trump which is why the orange blob is attacking Montenegro in the news.

He recently was elected President back in April and took office in May of this year.

He is a former PM of Montenegro. He has a long and storied political career.


Montenegro finds itself at heart of tensions with Russia as it joins Nato


Pro-EU politician set to win Montenegro's presidential election

Serbia has deported a group of Russians suspected of involvement in a coup plot in neighbouring Montenegro, the Guardian has learned, in the latest twist in a murky sequence of events that apparently threatened the lives of two European prime ministers.

The plotters were allegedly going to dress in police uniforms to storm the Montenegrin parliament in Podgorica, shoot the prime minister, Milo Ðjukanović, and install a pro-Moscow party.

The Russian fingerprints on the October plot have heightened intrigue about Moscow’s ambitions in a part of Europe hitherto thought to be gravitating towards the EU’s orbit.

Kremlin rejects claims Russia had role in Montenegro coup plot


Russia has hit out at allegations that it was involved in an attempted coup during Montenegro’s election last year, ridiculing them as “absurd” and unsubstantiated.

On Sunday, a Montenegrin prosecutor said “Russian state bodies” had played a role in an attempted putsch with the aim of stopping the Balkan country from joining Nato.

Montenegrin police arrested a group of Serbian nationals on the eve of the 16 October vote and two Russian suspects are wanted over the alleged plot to seize parliament and assassinate former president and prime minister Milo Đukanović.

Montenegrin authorities had previously said the conspiracy was orchestrated by “Russian nationalists” but special prosecutor Milivoje Katnić went a step further on Sunday evening, suggesting that Russian authorities were involved.

4. And Tucker Carlson bringing up Montenegro first shows he was fed the primary point to discuss.

But then Fox is Trump/state run.
