The demonstrators also demanded that opposition lawmakers boycott the work of the parliament.
The rallies were triggered by claims that the ruling Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro (DPS), led by Djukanovic, allegedly received shady financing from tycoons ahead of the 2018 presidential elections.
