Anti-government protests in Montenegro (October 2015)

Anti-government protests in Montenegro
Location Podgorica, Montenegro
Date October 2015

Anti-government protests in Montenegro began in mid-October 2015 and culminated in riots on 24 October 2015 in the capital of Podgorica. The protests were organised by the opposition coalition Democratic Front, which is requesting the formation of a transitional government which would organise next parliamentary elections.

After thousands of people rallied to protest government corruption and demand a transitional government and resignation of Prime Minister Milo Đukanović, who has held prime ministerial or presidential positions for most of the time since 1990, the police intervened tear-gassing the demonstrators.[1] Montenegrin police fired tear gas at opposition supporters, while chasing away the demonstrators with armored vehicles.[2]
