From Times Wire Reports
Montenegro’s pro-independence president resigned and prepared to take up the job of prime minister in the junior Yugoslav republic.
Milo Djukanovic told parliament he stepped down because his ruling Democratic List for European Montenegro coalition party -- which overwhelmingly won parliamentary elections in October -- proposed him as prime minister.
The current parliament speaker and Djukanovic’s close ally, Filip Vujanovic, will become caretaker president until new elections Dec. 22.
