The Workers' Party or Labour Party (, RP) was a minor Montenegrin political party which was part of the right-wing Democratic Front.
History The party was established on 3 March 2015 by Janko Vučinić, former union leader. Since its foundation until 2019, RP was a constituent member of the opposition populist Democratic Front (DF) alliance. In March 2019, the Workers' Party left the coalition with Democratic Front.Radnička partija istupila iz DF-a: Ne pristajemo da budemo marginalizovani CdM (March 2019)
