Vujanovic wins Montenegro election

Filip Vujanovic won Montenegro’s first presidential elections since it split from Serbia two years ago, according to an independent vote monitoring group.

Mr Vujanovic won 51.4% of the vote, pro-Serb challenger Andrija Mandic had 20.4% while liberal candidate Nebojsa Medojevic had 15.7% for third place, the Centre for Monitoring said last night. It cited the final vote count by its own monitors at polling stations.
