As part of a major rotation in diplomatic positions within the European Union worldwide, Miroslav Lajcak, currently the Special Envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, is expected to become the EU Ambassador to Switzerland, as reported by RFE.

Radio Free Europe learns from diplomatic sources that Lajcak will begin his mandate in the Swiss capital Bern on September 1 this year.

Lajcak was appointed as the EU Special Envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue on April 3, 2020.

The same sources told RFE that the current EU Ambassador to Estonia, Aivo Orav, has been chosen as the new head of the European bloc's office in Kosovo.

When this is officially confirmed, Orav will replace the outgoing ambassador, Tomas Szunyog, in this role in Pristina.

Has Pristina already “played out“ the end of the dialogue mediated by Miroslav Lajcak?

Criticism from Kosovar officials towards Miroslav Lajcak, the European mediator in the dialogue with Belgrade, is not new, but statements expressing a lack of trust in the process he leads, coupled with trust in the US, Germany, and Great Britain, raise the question: Has Pristina “played out“ the end of the dialogue under the auspices of the EU before the end of this mediator's mandate? Will issues from the dialogue favorable to Kosovo be resolved through "side" channels with those they trust, while matters significant to the Serbian side remain on the sidelines?
