Milo Djukanovic has presented the vote as a choice between becoming an EU and Nato member or a "Russian colony".
The interior minister has urged supporters of whoever wins to celebrate indoors rather than on the streets.
The warning follows the arrest of 20 Serb paramilitaries suspected of planning attacks.

Prosecutors said the group may have been planning to kidnap Mr Djukanovic, who has been in charge for a quarter of a century.
But opposition Democratic Front leader Andrija Mandic said the announcement was "gross propaganda".
The CEMI polling organisation said Mr Djukanovic"s Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) was on course to get 42%, while the opposition Democratic Front would get 23% and another party, KLJUC, would get 12%.
Some of the opposition groups are pro-Serbian and many Montenegrins are unhappy that Mr Djukanovic is taking the country into Nato.
They remain angry that Nato bombed Serbia and Montenegro in 1999 as part of a strategy to halt the killing and expulsion of ethnic Albanians in Serbia"s then southern province of Kosovo.
The opposition accuses Mr Djukanovic of corruption and cronyism, which he denies. He accuses them of receiving funding from Moscow, which they deny.
The country has also seen an influx of Russian money, homebuyers and tourists since splitting from Serbia in 2006.
