Danish diplomat Peter Sorensen is expected to be the new EU envoy for the dialogue. The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, has decided that Danish diplomat Peter Sorensen will be the special representative for the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia.
According to diplomatic sources in the EU, Sorensen's name has also been sent for approval to the bloc's member states.
His candidacy will be on the agenda at the meeting of the EU's Political and Security Committee (PSC), which brings together representatives of all member states.
Diplomatic sources told A2 CNN that according to past practice, Sorensen's confirmation by member states will only be a formal procedure, as Kallas has already selected him as special envoy for the dialogue.
It is expected that Sorensen will be confirmed as the envoy for dialogue by the end of this month, so that he can begin his mandate at the beginning of February. The current envoy, Lajcak, will expire on January 31.
Sorensen has extensive diplomatic experience in EU structures. He is currently Senior Advisor at the EU External Action Service (EEAS) for digital diplomacy. (A2 Televizion)
