Political Life in Montenegro in the Transition Period

The theme of this work is the political life of Montenegro during the last two decades. In the given period, the Montenegrin society is going through a major political transformation and change in all aspects of social life. The aim of this paper is to analyze the socio-political changes since the introduction of multi-party system to the present day. Previous bibliography, critical and scientific reviews in order to clarify the turbulent events in the recent social and political history of the territory of Montenegro are very fragmentary. The reasons for this probably lies in the still insufficient historical distance, in actuality of the many events of that period, whose relapses and reflections have today a significant impact on the socio-political reality of the modern Montenegrin society. The paper reviewed the two hypotheses, the role and importance of one dominant political entity that exercises power for decades. The topic of this paper is the political life of Montenegro from 1990 to the present days. A particular feature of this period is the fact that one political party (Democratic Party of Socialists, hereinafter-DPS), managed to hold power until today, in conditions of party pluralism, unstable and war-affected environments, deep ideological, political, social and ethnic divisions in society and the intense international pressures.
