French diplomat Mingarelli to be new EU ambassador in Kyiv
The head of the European Union Delegation to Ukraine, Jan Tombinski, will be replaced by French diplomat Hugues Mingarelli this fall, an EU diplomatic source has told Interfax-Ukraine.
Mingarelli will arrive in Ukraine somewhere around September, the source said.
According to the Yevropeiska Pravda (European Truth) online news outlet, Tombinski, who is Polish, and has worked in Kyiv since the summer of 2012, will be replaced by Mingarelli, a Frenchman of Italian origin, who "beat other candidates in an internal competition."
Tombinski will head "to another European country of importance to us," the news outlet said.
