(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAR 6 - Incumbent President Milo Djukanovic ranks first on the ballot for the presidential elections in Montenegro scheduled for March 19. That is what emerged from the draw carried out today in the headquarters of the National Election Commission in Podgorica. Following Djukanovic are the other candidates: Jakov Milatovic, vice president of the Europe Now Movement (PES); Andrija Mandic, leader of the Democratic Front (DF); Jovan Radulovic, independent candidate; Goran Danilovic, representative of United Montenegro; Aleksa Becic, president of the Democrats, and Draginja Vuksanovic Stankovic, Social Democrat MP (SDP).

According to the latest polls, the new president will hardly be already elected in the first round, and a runoff will be necessary after two weeks. Milo Djukanovic and Andrija Mandi are the favorites. (ANSA).
