PODGORICA (Reuters) - Montenegro holds a snap election on Sunday for a new government expected to implement economic reforms, improve infrastructure and take the NATO member state closer to European Union membership.

The vote will be the first since Milo Djukanovic, former leader of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), lost the presidential election in April and stepped down after 30 years in power in the small former Yugoslav republic.
