Slovak ambassador Ľubomír Kopaj has become the new head of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) mission in the republic of Montenegro.
“The nomination of a Slovak candidate is the confirmation of an active role of Slovakia in the OSCE and in the region of the Western Balkans, and also the acknowledgement of the qualities and professional expertise of Kopaj, who successfully worked, among other positions, as head mission-coordinator of OSCE projects in Ukraine,” the ministry’s press department wrote, as quoted by the SITA newswire.
