Yugoslav Communist Party of Montenegro (Montenegrin: Jugoslovenska komunistička partija Crne Gore, JKP CG) is a minor communist political party in Montenegro. The party mostly gathers pensioners,[2] mainly with Titoistic[3] and nostalgic feelings towards life in the former Communist Yugoslavia (SFRJ).[4]

History

The political party was founded on 25 September 2009 as a result of the merger of two political parties: League of Communists of Yugoslavia - Communists of Montenegro and Yugoslav Communists of Montenegro.[5]

During the 2010 municipal elections, Yugoslav Communist Party of Montenegro gained 1 seat in the Municipal Parliament of Plužine.[6]
