PRESS RELEASE

OSCE Chair Lajčák appoints Heidi Grau as Special Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office in Ukraine and in the Trilateral Contact Group

BRATISLAVA, 5 December 2019 - The OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of Slovakia Miroslav Lajčák today announced the appointment of Ambassador Heidi Grau of Switzerland as the OSCE Chairperson’s Special Representative in Ukraine and in the Trilateral Contact Group. Ambassador Grau succeeds Ambassador Martin Sajdik, whom the OSCE Chair thanked for his dedication and important work, which included concrete achievements towards the full implementation of the Minsk agreements.

Particularly given that supporting the political process and advancing humanitarian confidence-building in conflict-affected areas was a core priority of the Slovak Chairmanship, Lajčák stressed that Slovakia will continue to support the role of the Special Representative both in the remaining weeks of its 2019 Chairmanship, and thereafter as a member of the OSCE Troika.
