Igor Luksic

Igor Lukšić served as the prime minister of Montenegro from December 2010 to December 2012. He succeeded Milo Đukanović and continued his predecessor's efforts to integrate Montenegro with Europe and the West. Lukšić's tenure saw a modest economic recovery that was hampered by the euro-zone crisis, leading to a decrease in foreign investment. Despite economic challenges, Montenegro began formal accession talks with the EU in June 2012. The ruling Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) coalition secured the most seats in the October 2012 parliamentary elections but did not achieve an outright majority, leading to the formation of a coalition government with Đukanović returning as prime minister in December 2012.1
