The West and Russia clash in election in Tiny Montenegro

Voters in the small Balkan state of Montenegro voted on Sunday in a parliamentary election that could determine whether it continues on its Western course or turns back to traditional ally Russia.

The vote pitted the long-ruling Democratic Party of Socialists, led by Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic, against a cluster of pro-Russian and pro-Serbian opposition groups that staunchly oppose the government's pro-Western policies, especially its NATO bid.
