Convinced that by restoring its statehood Montenegro has achieved its main political goal and that a convincing victory of democratic and pro-European forces in the September election has strengthened the foundations of the independent Montenegro, Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanović in early October 2006 decided to step down from the highest government duties.
