NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg may stay in office for another year. The reason is a full-scale war in Ukraine unleashed by Russia. The Alliance considers personnel changes to be risky now.
The publication writes that there are 3 scenarios. However, most world politicians believe that leaving Stoltenberg in office is the most reliable.
Does Stoltenberg want to stay
The current NATO Secretary General is perceived as a high-ranking official, who can keep his cool in times of crisis. By the way, one of the high-ranking diplomats of the Alliance noted that Stoltenberg himself wants to remain in office.
However, there is also concern about this topic. For example, some politicians insist that there should be more regional diversity. Stoltenberg has been in office since 2014. His predecessors were Dane, Dutch and British. In addition, they note that it was worthwhile to appoint a woman general secretary.
The Baltic countries do not support other candidates. Changes are considered risky when there is war in the neighborhood.
Stoltenberg's term was extended
The article reminds that Stoltenberg's term was extended in March 2022 years after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
If such a decision is approved again, the further selection of a new general secretary may coincide in time with the competition for top positions in the EU in 2024, as well as with the presidential election in the United States.< /p> Pay attention! Previously, the media wrote that Stoltenberg could become the executive director of the International Monetary Fund The United States seems to want to see him in this post.
