Theprime minister of Montenegro[a], officially thepresident of the Government of Montenegro[b], is thehead of thegovernment ofMontenegro. The role of theprime minister is to direct the work of the government, and to submit to theParliament thegovernment's program, which includes a list of proposedministers. The resignation of the prime minister would cause the dissolution of his government.
The current prime minister,Milojko Spajić, leader of the political partyEurope Now!, was approved by theParliament of Montenegro on 31 October 2023, after the formation of the44th government of Montenegro.[3]
The first modern Montenegrin government was established on 20 March 1879, during thePrincipality of Montenegro. The title of the head of government was President of the Ministerial Council (Предсједник Министарског савјета).
On 28 August 1910, Montenegro was proclaimed akingdom. During both the principality and the kingdom, the office was of no major importance or influence but depended solely on the will of the sovereignNikola I. After the capitulation of Montenegro to theCentral Powers on 15 January 1916, duringWorld War I, the government went into exile and remained abroad until it ceased to exist. After the decision of thePodgorica Assembly on 26 November 1918, to unify Montenegro withSerbia and the subsequent formation of theKingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes,Stojan Protić became theprime minister of the newly formed Kingdom on 20 December 1918. The deposed King Nikola I continued to appoint prime ministers of Montenegro in exile until his death in 1921. The government of Montenegro in exile ceased to exist the next year.
Under thecommunist regime, Montenegro obtained its own government on 7 March 1945. On that day, a ministry for Montenegro was created within the government of Yugoslavia (as for all the other five republics), with a minister for Montenegro in charge of creating the first real government of post-war Montenegro, which took place on 17 April 1945. Governments were headed by a prime minister until 4 February 1953, by a president of the Executive Council until 15 January 1991, and again by a prime minister since then.
