PODGORICA (Reuters) - Montenegro's parliament on Thursday declared veteran politician Miodrag Lekic as Prime Minister-designate in a vote disputed by the president and under a procedure described by European Union officials as contravening the country's constitution.
In August, the parliament passed a no-confidence motion on the Cabinet of Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic over signing a long-disputed deal regulating ties with the powerful Serbian Orthodox Church, the second no-confidence vote in government this year. The parliament's majority made up of a heterogeneous coalition of pro-European and pro-Serb parties had proposed Lekic as a PM candidate to Djukanovic but without signatures of deputies so he rejected it.
