Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic

"I'm a bit tired and fed up with this job," Djukanovic said Sept. 11. "In the next few weeks, I'll think about stepping down."

He said his government "finished some main jobs in the development of Montenegro, re-established its independence and stability."

His center-left coalition, which has campaigned on a platform of having Montenegro join the European Union and NATO, won a majority in Montenegro's parliamentary elections Sept. 10 in the first vote since Montenegro gained independence from Serbia in May.
