In March 2018, Đukanović announced that he would run for the 2018 Montenegrin presidential election. In the first ballot on April 15, he achieved an absolute majority with 53.9% of the vote.

Life

After studying economics , Đukanović joined the Union of Communists of Yugoslavia in the 1980s , to which he was a member of the Central Committee until the multi-ethnic state collapsed . He then became a member of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) in Montenegro and in 1991 Prime Minister of Montenegro. After the intra-party power struggle against Momir Bulatović , he finally managed to narrowly prevail against him in the 1998 presidential election campaign. Since from this point on there were constant stalemates between supporters of independence and supporters of the state community with Serbia , he decided to run again for the office of prime minister, which he was successful in the 2002 parliamentary elections.

His self-set official goal, the independence of Montenegro, achieved Đukanović through a referendum on May 21, 2006, in which a 55.5 percent majority of the Montenegrin voters spoke out in favor of separating from Serbia.

On October 3, 2006, Ðukanović declared that he would no longer run for the office of prime minister, but remained chairman of his party and a member of parliament. As the successor in the office of Prime Minister Željko Šturanović was proposed, who was considered a close ally of Ðukanović and Minister of Justice in his cabinet.

When Šturanović announced his resignation for health reasons in early 2008, Ðukanović returned to the post of prime minister. On February 29, 2008, Parliament confirmed his nomination by the President. His party achieved more than 50 percent of the votes cast in the following parliamentary elections on March 29, 2009 and won the parliamentary election in Montenegro for the sixth time. He promised his supporters that he would now lead the country into the European Union and NATO as quickly as possible .

Italy and Germany investigated Ðukanović for cigarette smuggling. Italy discontinued this in 2009.

On December 21, 2010, Đukanović announced his resignation as prime minister. He proposed the previous Finance Minister, Igor Lukšić , as his successor . After his election by the Montenegrin parliament, the handover took place on December 29, 2010. Đukanović remained chairman of the DPS.

After his party was again the strongest force in the parliamentary elections on October 14, 2012, the parliament of Montenegro elected Đukanović as prime minister again on December 4.

After the parliamentary election on October 16, 2016 , which did not result in clear majorities, Đukanović resigned as prime minister. He appointed his close confidante and previous deputy Duško Marković as his successor .

On April 15, 2018, Đukanović was re-elected President of Montenegro.
