Details: On December 20, Sapundzhi presented copies of credentials to the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleksandr Mishchenko. And Sapundzhi was appointed ambassador to Kyiv at the end of October.
Before assuming the post of head of the embassy in Kyiv, Sapundji was in the diplomatic service at the Serbian embassy in Washington. For six years, he was a counselor-envoy there, that is, the second person in the embassy.
He also worked in diplomatic missions in Paris and Brussels.
According to Serbian media, Sapundji is close to the Socialist Party of Serbia and Interior Minister Ivica Dacic.
We will remind you that the Embassy of Serbia in Ukraine has temporarily stopped its work for security reasons since March 2022.
In May, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, after a meeting with the previous Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, noted that the Serbian ambassador would soon return to Kyiv.
In September, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sybiga, announced that the Serbian embassy would resume work in Kyiv this year.
