EU ambassadors confirm Sorensen's nomination as special envoy for Belgrade-Pristina dialogue

BRUSSELS - Ambassadors of EU member states on Friday confirmed the nomination of Danish diplomat Peter Sorensen as the new EU special envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, diplomatic sources in Brussels have told Tanjug.

Sorensen was put forward for the post by EU foreign policy and security chief Kaja Kallas.

As the last step in the procedure, the nomination needs to be approved by EU FMs on Monday for Sorensen to be able to assume the duty in early February.

Outgoing special envoy Miroslav Lajcak's term expires on January 31.
