Presidential elections were held in Montenegro, then a constituent republic of Yugoslavia, on 5 October 1997. A second round run-off was held on 19 October 1997. Although incumbent President Momir Bulatović, who was supportive of Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milošević,[1] received a plurality of the vote in the first round, he was defeated in the second round by Prime Minister Milo Đukanović.
Despite OCSE recognising the elections as being "generally fair",[2] Bulatović claimed the elections had been fraudulent and refused to recognise the result. Amid violent protests, Đukanović was sworn into office in January 1998.[3]
