Corruption Claims Mar Montenegro's Election

International observers reported Montenegro's presidnitial election on April 7 was professionally and efficiently administed, but cited concerns over allegations of corruption.
"The blurring of the line between state and party continued to be at odds with OSCE commitments and Council of Europe standards," the OSCE said in a statement Monday. "Allegations of the misuse of state resources persisted regardless of the veracity of these allegations. Mistrust inpublic institutions and the judiciary diminished public confidence and should be addressed."
