Official count confirms win of Montenegro's pro-West party

PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) — The official results of last weekend's elections in Montenegro have confirmed that the long-ruling pro-Western party of Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic won most votes — but it must seek an alliance to form the next government.

The State Election Commission said Wednesday that the Democratic Party of Socialists won 36 seats in the 81-member Parliament, followed by the opposition Democratic Front with 18 seats, and the Key Coalition with nine seats.
