Politics: Vujanovic claims victory in Montenegro election

Montenegro's incumbent President Filip Vujanovic has claimed victory in the republic's first election since it announced independence from Serbia two years ago.

"We won, we won for all of us, for our Montenegro, for our better future," Vujanovic told supporters of the ruling Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) at a celebration rally in the capital Podgorica.

"I'll be a president for all citizens of Montenegro. We'll work together on Montenegro's European road, so that Montenegro belongs to the European Union," the 53-year-old Vujanovic said.
