Until then, Montenegro had been governed by the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), the heir to the League of Communists of Montenegro. Three decades of the DPS in power have left an imprint on Montenegrin politics and society. The new government, appointed on 4 December 2020, is composed of three different coalitions: \u2018For the Future of Montenegro\u2019, \u2018Peace is our Nation\u2019, and \u2018Black and White\u2019. This ideologically diverse coalition is united by little more than its joint opposition to the DPS, declaring the dismantling of the DPS-regime its primary goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>What progress has the new government made in achieving its main objective so far? How realistic is its promise to dismantle the DPS\u2019 hegemonic position? And what other interests does the new government represent?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The panel attempts to answer these and other questions by assessing the first six months of Montenegro\u2019s new government. The discussion will highlight the challenges presented by the long-lasting rule of the DPS in the areas of the rule of law, systemic corruption, and the entanglement of informal networks with the state. The discussants will also focus on the new government\u2019s foreign policy, the Serbian Orthodox Church, and competing nationalisms in Montenegro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Register in advance for this meeting:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tZ0ldOqsqT8qG9F5-eicNSMdwBTZ2gM3KjuW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tZ0ldOqsqT8qG9F5-eicNSMdwBTZ2gM3KjuW<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/static.uni-graz.at\/fileadmin\/suedosteuropa\/Veranstaltungsbilder\/Flyer_montenegro_V3_web_.pdf\">Montenegro: A new Beginning?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>01.06.2021 17:00 &#8211; 18:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zentrum f\u00fcr S\u00fcdosteuropastudien<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at\/de\/veranstaltungen\/detail\/article\/montenegro-a-new-beginning\/\">https:\/\/suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at\/de\/veranstaltungen\/detail\/article\/montenegro-a-new-beginning\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26477,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/csm_Flyer_Montenegro.jpeg?fit=800%2C600&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52688,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52688","url_meta":{"origin":26476,"position":0},"title":"Eleonora Naxidou and Yura Konstantinova \u201eBalkan Perspectives of Europe: Between East and West\u201c","author":"Filip \u0160imunjak","date":"28. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"Through the lens of the Balkan nations, this volume makes a valuable and significant contribution to the fields of European and Southeast European studies by reconsidering the East\/West dichotomy \u2013 both in terms of the Orient\u2013Occident divide and the Eastern\u2013Western Europe binary.
