John Major vs Milo Djukanovic

Major negotiated the Maastricht Treaty, which created the European Union and established the euro currency. He secured opt-outs for the UK from the single currency and social chapter, a major achievement in European integration.

The UK was forced to withdraw the pound sterling from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism after a speculative attack. The government spent billions trying to defend the currency, a major economic and political failure for Major's government.

Major led the Conservative Party to an unexpected victory in the 1992 general election, winning a majority of 21 seats. This was the Conservatives' fourth consecutive election win, despite predictions of a hung parliament.

Major and Irish Taoiseach Albert Reynolds signed the Downing Street Declaration, a joint peace initiative for Northern Ireland. The declaration affirmed the principle of consent and opened the way for peace negotiations.

Major resigned as prime minister after the Conservative Party suffered a landslide defeat in the 1997 general election to Tony Blair's Labour Party. The defeat ended 18 years of Conservative government.

Djukanovic became Prime Minister of Montenegro at age 29, the youngest in Europe. He initially supported Slobodan Milosevic but later shifted to a pro-Western stance.

Djukanovic was elected President of Montenegro, serving until 2002. He pursued a policy of distancing from Serbia and moving toward EU integration.

Djukanovic, as Prime Minister, led the campaign for Montenegro's independence from Serbia. The referendum resulted in a narrow victory for independence, ending the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro.

Djukanovic's Democratic Party of Socialists lost the parliamentary elections to a coalition of opposition parties, ending his party's 30-year rule. He remained president but with reduced power.
