European Council on Thursday extended the existing mandate of EU Special Representative, Toivo Klaar, for one year, until 31 August 2024.

According to the statement, Toivo Klaar was appointed EUSR for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia on 13 November 2017. His task is to contribute to a peaceful settlement of conflicts in the region, namely the crisis in Georgia and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as well as to encourage regional cooperation between Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, and, as appropriate, their neighbouring countries.

For the record, the EU Special Representatives are proposed by the High Representative to promote the EU’s policies and interests in specific regions and countries, and provide the EU with an active political presence in those areas.
