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.

Parliament speaker Danijela Djurović said Lekić won the support of 41 lawmakers in the 81-seat parliament.
