MONTENEGRO'S CITIZENS UNHAPPY WITH GOVERNMENT'S PERFORMANCE

PODGORICA, Apr 30 (Hina) - The majority of Montenegro's citizens do not believe the Milo Djukanovic cabinet will carry out the reforms it has announced, according to data of a research conducted by the Podgorica-based Centre for Democratic Transition. #L# Results show that 47.1 percent of the population are dissatisfied with the government's performance to date, while only 14.2 percent have a positive opinion. The research also shows that Filip Vujanovic, the presidential candidate nominated by the ruling Democratic Party of Socialists, might win in the first election round on May 11. Vujanovic looks likely to win 35.8 percent of the vote, while his opponents, the Liberals' Miodrag Zivkovic and independent candidate Dragan Hajdukovic, may win 8.9 and three percent respectively. As many as 37.4 percent of those questioned say the Serbia and Montenegro constitutional charter effectively protects Montenegro's key interests. If a referendum on Montenegro's status were held tomorrow, 45.5 percent of the population would opt for independence, 34.4 percent would vote against independence, while 20.1 percent are undecided.
