Montenegro’s parliament approved Igor Luksic as the country’s new premier, taking over from Milo Djukanovic who retired after leading the tiny Adriatic republic for two decades.

In a keynote speech before taking office, Luksic, who previously served as finance minister, said his administration will work to spur economic growth, narrow the budget deficit and bring the country toward European Union membership. His former deputy, Milorad Katnic, became the new finance minister.
