Miodrag Lekić (born 21 November 1947 in Bar, Yugoslavia) is a Montenegrin and former Yugoslav political scientist, diplomat and politician.
Lekić studied political science with focus on international relations at the University of Belgrade, graduating in 1971. He worked as a professor at "Niko Rolović" gymnasium and was a director of cultural and informative center in Bar. He received a French government scholarship to further his studies at the Paris-Sorbonne University from 1976 to 1977. In 1986 he became a member of the Government of Montenegro, and in 1987 he was a member of the Yugoslav delegation for UNESCO cooperation.
From 1990 to 1992, Lekić served as ambassador of the SFR Yugoslavia in Mozambique, Swaziland, and Lesotho. From September 1992 to December 1995, he was the minister of foreign affairs of the Republic of Montenegro. Subsequently, he became Yugoslav ambassador to Italy and Malta for two terms (1995-1999 and 2001-2003). Between 1999 and 2001 he worked for the United Nations's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). During his second term he received a wide media attention for his strong criticism of NATO intervention in Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War, most notably in Porta a Porta talk show.
In 2003, Lekić fell out with the new Montenegrin president Milo Đukanović and left the Yugoslav diplomatic service. He became a lecturer at the LUISS Guido Carli in Rome. He taught comparative politics from 2003 to 2004, international negotiation technique from 2004 to 2012 and diplomacy from 2012 to 2013. At the same time, he lectured international relations and negotiation technique at the faculty of humanities, Sapienza University of Rome from 2005 to 2007. In 2011, he founded the Center for International Policy and European Integration (CEMP) in Podgorica.
