Podgorica - Voting began in Montenegrin snap parliamentary elections Sunday, with
nearly 500,000 registered voters choosing 81 representatives.

Surveys predicted a big victory for Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic's coalition, in the repeat of his triumph in September 2006.

Only the question of whether Djukanovic's bloc would win an absolute majority or not remained open ahead of the vote.

Voting was scheduled to end at 9 pm (1900 GMT) and first projections were expected to follow a few hours later. (dpa)
