Serbia names ambassador to NATO

BELGRADE

The government has appointed Branislav Milinković as Serbia’s ambassador to NATO. The Belgrade newspaper explains that this was done on Monday, and that Milinković has been Serbia’s special envoy to the western military alliance since 2004.

Milinković was sent to Brussels five years ago as representative of the then foreign minister of Serbia and Montenegro.

Previously, he served as permanent representative to the OSCE, UN and other organizations.

He has held ambassador status of the Serbian MFA since 2000.
