City of portland has told President Donald Trump to support him or stay away from his city it comes after one person was shot dead during saturday nights race for late related violence in the city. Of polls from the montenegran election have confirmed a tight contest with about 90 percent of the sample vote counted it shows the governing d. P. s policy winning 29. 00 seats with the Opposition Alliance winning 28. 00 seats is an election that could change the Political Landscape in montenegro the Democratic Party of socialists led by a president a kind of it has been in power for 30 years the pro your government brought to the balkan state closer to joining the European Union the tight contest could mean the d. P. S. Might not be able to govern in its own right the opposition comprises a coalition of mainly serb nationalist parties called for the future of montenegro that wants to take the country closer to serbia and russia is also backed by the Serbian Orthodox Church which has been urging voters to vote against the d. P. S. Most of montenegros population of 620000 people are members of the church and about a 3rd of the population identify as serbian or for more lets go straight to power coverage in poker read serve the capsule of montenegro event is this the result that people were expecting. Well its quite surprising actually because the montenegro never saw a change in power in its history so its now very surprising that even the fact that might happen and we just hear this Ruling Party Leader and current the montenegros president milledge economy in the headquarters of the party at the end of this evening he said that this party is the old the leading Political Force in the country but that. On the other side they are with their. Traditional a colleague from partners for the seats in parliament and they are missing this month a seat the needed for creation of a new government he said that nothing is finished yet 10 percent of votes needs to be counted till the end of this night fishel results are expecting tomorrow but he clearly said that this ruling party is going to accept any. Any result and that they will recognize it as one he was very happy that it was a very peaceful and quiet day in montenegro but its really still unsure who is going to lead this country for the next 4 years in opposition. The headquarters of maine the process of being parties there was a week to reclaiming and they said that they will force or leave this country even though neither side cared enough hands in the parliament to create a new government so they will have to see further help from other minor parties in montenegro and its still not clear who is going to be able to get their world so its really close final results as you said coming out tomorrow what can we expect in the coming days given this tension between the 2 parties. Well what weve all definitely going to see more are divisions and moral political tensions in this country but as i already said either camp have enough. Cans in parliament to create a government no one has these majority and they will have to seek help from minor parties and the good thing for those in montenegro who are afraid of the situation and who are. Very happy with the western path of the country took in the last years of montenegro joined Nato Alliance 3 years ago and its a frontrunner country involved in this region when it comes to european integrations for those people the optimistic information these the. Parties who are going to decide who is going to run this country are mainly those who are pro best and really oriented who are very supportive for nato membership and for European Union soldiers even if this possibly an opposition took control over the montenegro this is a small part these. They need to to create a government of all definitely not. Very sharp change over the course of this country in the next 4 years iran thank you very much your own heart of. Thanks for the update.
