Montenegro Prime Minister Dritan Abazović

Russia's invasion of Ukraine puts pressure on some of the newer democratic countries in the region, notably Montenegro, which only gained its independence in 2006. When Montenegro joined NATO in 2017, Russian sympathizers plotted to take down the government. Now the war in Ukraine could exacerbate historic tension between pro-western and pro-Russian forces. Joining the show to discuss Montenegro's current situation is 36-year old Prime Minister Dritan Abazović. 

Also on today's show: Emmy award-winning actor Henry Winkler, author Nicole Hemmer.
