Trump confronts repeated boos during raucous Libertarian convention speech

Early projections of election results at Montenegro's presidential runoff vote have suggested that economy expert and political novice Jakov Milatovic has won the presidential runoff election in Montenegro, defeating the pro-western incumbent in the small NATO member nation located on Europe's Balkan peninsula.
Milatovic won around 60% while Milo Djukanovic won around 40%, according to predictions released by the usually reliable Center for Monitoring and Research and based on partial vote sample. Official results are not expected before Monday.
Analysts said the results could change slightly as the vote count progresses but that the gap between the two is too wide for major changes.
"This result is an indicator that the final result won't be substantially different," said the group analyst Ana Nenezic.
Milatovic's victory is believed to reflect voter fatigue with Djukanovic and disillusionment with established politicians. Milatovic, 36, first entered politics in 2020 after earning his education in Britain and the United States.
Djukanovic is credited with leading his country to independence from Serbia in 2006 and defying Russia to steer Montenegro into NATO in 2017. But critics say Djukanovic and his Democratic Party of Socialists have let crime and corruption engulf society.
The DPS was ousted from power in a 2020 parliamentary vote but Djukanovic has remained in office until his five-year mandate finished. His defeat on Sunday means that both he and his party will be in opposition for the first time since late 1980s'.
Sunday's runoff vote was scheduled after none of the contenders won a majority in the first round of voting two weeks ago. Some 540,000 people were eligible to vote. Montenegro has a population of 620,000 and borders Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo and the Adriatic Sea.
The outcome of Sunday's election is likely to reflect on an early parliamentary election set for June 11. That vote was scheduled because of a months-long government deadlock that stalled Montenegro's pending European Union membership and alarmed the West as war rages in Ukraine.
Though Milatovic's Europe Now group is formally not part of the ruling coalition, his presidential candidacy won backing from the shaky alliance that includes parties that advocate closer ties with neighbouring Serbia and Russia.
Milatovic has said that Montenegro's EU integration remains a priority for him and his party. He has denied Djukanovic's allegations that the governing coalition was pushing Montenegro back under Serbia's influence.
With Milatovic's triumph, his Europe Now movement could also find itself in a position to dominate the next government after June's parliamentary election.
Europe Now emerged after the first government that resulted from the 2020 parliamentary election collapsed. As the economy minister in that government, Milatovic gained popularity by increasing salaries but critics say this was done at the cost of the already depleted health system and not as an outcome of reform.
