The EU Ambassador to Kosovo, Aivo Orav, met with the Danish diplomat, Peter Sorensen, who has already been confirmed by the European Union ambassadors for the position of special representative for the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia.
Orav wrote in X that he is convinced that his extensive diplomatic experience will help advance the normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo.
"My team and I will fully support him," he wrote.
Danish politician Peter Sorensen, who was selected by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, to replace Miroslav Lajcak in this post from today, will take up his mandate on February 1. Sorensen has been finally confirmed as the envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue by the European Union Foreign Ministers.
Until now, this position has been held by envoy Miroslav Lajcak, who a few days ago during his stay in Davos had confirmed that this is his last week. Lajcak also said that dialogue is more crucial than ever in today's world.
"Dialogue is more crucial than ever in today's world. I also met with leaders from the Balkans and participated in the traditional Diplomacy Dialogue for the region. In my intervention, I stressed that the EU is serious about enlarging the Union, but this will not happen by default, and I urged the region to stay the course. As I begin the last week of my almost five years in my current role, the coming days will focus on final briefings and handover procedures," Lajcak wrote.
Lajcak will be succeeded by diplomat Sorensen, who has extensive diplomatic experience in EU structures.
