PODGORICA Still rutted with historically fraught questions of religious and national identity, Montenegro s political path took a sharp turn in August.
That s when a diverse coalition of Serbian nationalists, populists, centrists, socialists, environmentalists, and anticorruption campaigners won just enough votes to edge out the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) that had run the former Yugoslav republic for 30 years.
A record turnout among Montenegro s some 540,000 registered voters demanded change and heralded impatience with President Milo Djukanovic and the perceived clientelism that helped make him one of Europe s longest-serving democratic leaders.

U.S. Democracy Promotion Needs a Reboot
For those excited by Joe Biden’s campaign promises to restore democracy promotion as a central plank of U.S. foreign policy, the months following last year’s presidential election were hair-raising. As Donald Trump refused to concede defeat and his supporters spread baseless conspiracy theories about election fraud, experts raised alarms that the fraught climate and Republican intransigence were eroding America’s global reputation. The ensuing loss of credibility, they warned, would make it all the more difficult for the U.S. to hold other countries accountable for authoritarian behavior.
Biden has deemed democratic values the “grounding wire of our global foreign policy.” But in a recent report, a task force of democracy promotion experts called for more far-reaching efforts and reforms to make democracy the “‘fourth D’ of U.S. foreign policy, alongside diplomacy, development, and defense.”

Over the past three years, increased global attention has been drawn to China’s crackdown on more than a million members of its Uighur-Muslim minority in Xinjiang.
China has long faced accusations that it operates detention centres masked as “vocational training” camps, where Muslims are held against their will indefinitely and subjected to torture and abuse.
Activists, human rights organisations and even governments - including the United States administration and Canada’s Parliament - have repeatedly referred to China’s actions as genocide, while Australia has criticised the reports as “deeply disturbing”.
