Montenegro's long-standing leader Milo Djukanovic has suffered a resounding presidential election defeat.
Ednews reports citing BBC that the 36-year-old centrist former economy minister, Jakov Milatovic, declared victory on Sunday evening after the presidential run-off.
He will take over from Mr Djukanovic, who has held power as president or prime minister in Montenegro for over three decades.
Snap parliamentary elections are scheduled to take place in the summer.
"Tonight is the night we have been awaiting for over 30 years. I wish you a happy victory," Mr Milatovic told cheering supporters of his Europe Now Movement in the capital, Podgorica.
He promised to lead his small Balkan nation into the European Union within the next five years.
