Former Slovak Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajcak, who also served as the international high representative in BiH between 2007 and 2009, is expected to become the EU’s special representative for the Western Balkans this week.
According to a leaked document seen by RFE/RL, Lajcak is to take up the new post for a period of one year on April 2, a day after EU ambassadors are expected to give their green light to his appointment.
According to the working document dated March 30, Lajcak’s first task is to achieve a “comprehensive normalization of relations” between Serbia and Kosovo.
