...rare visits out of the palatial family compound in Pyongyang were in tinted-window limousines. But this Kim, unlike his father, has traveled abroad frequently and was educated in Switzerland. He is believed to have worked for North Korea's military intelligence agency and is thought to have a keen interest in computers. North Koreans in Japan who support the Kim regime say they were told last month during a visit to Pyongyang that Kim Jong Nam has in fact been designated the Dear Leader's successor.

Of course, Belgrade is not keen to see Montenegro break away. And these election results are really a setback for Djukanovic, because he wanted a much larger margin of victory for the pro-independence parties.
