Noteworthy, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Valeriy Chaliy responsible for foreign policy said that the President’s decree on the new ambassador to Austria will be issued “in the next few days”. Chaliy did not give the new ambassador's name, but noted that “the staff decision is successful enough”.
