SPIELBERG Austria (Reuters) - European Union leaders are likely to override objections from British Prime Minister David Cameron and elect Jean-Claude Juncker president of the European Commission, Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann told a newspaper.

Faymann is a Social Democrat but has publicly backed the conservative Juncker for the top Commission job because centre-right parties took first place in European Parliament elections last month.
