One of the most surprising appointments is the person who will be at the helm of EU enlargement, nominated for the post, is Slovenia's diplomat, Marta Kos, Klankosova reported.tv.
The “should be stressed that Martha Kos, was nominated by the Slovenian government, as a member of the Commissioners' College. The nomination procedure, which includes consulting Slovenia's parliament, for a non-binding opinion is continuing. It (Kos), will also be the commissioner of enlargement responsible for the eastern neighbourhood, and it will work to support Ukraine, and continue to work on re-building and support candidate countries to get ready for their (European Union) entry”, EC Chairman Von Der Leyen said.
Of the six Western Balkan states, it is only the Republic of Kosovo, which does not have candidate status for EU membership.
The application for this was made in December 2022, but Brussels has not taken so far any steps towards granting that status.
Otherwise, the new chief of European diplomacy will be Kaya Kallas, former prime minister of Estonia. Kallas will replace the Spaniard, Josep Borrell, who held the post by 2019, reports Clankosova.tv.
