David J. Kostelancik, nominated by President Biden for ambassador to Albania, must wait for an indefinite time to receive approval from the US Senate

In the US Senate two days ago Jeanne Shaheen Senatore from Hampshire presented a supporting motion to approve this candidacy.

"For more than 35 years, Mr. David J. Kostelancik has served as a career foreign service diplomat and is a highly qualified candidate to represent the US in an allied country like Albania. He has previously served in Albania and other countries. It is more than clear that we have a highly qualified candidate to serve as ambassador to Albania. I can tell you that today China and Russia have their ambassadors in Albania and now it is the duty of the senate to decide. I invite you for consensus in approving this candidacy without interference and without debate for US ambassador to Albania" , said Jeanne Shaheen, senator from Hampshire.

But her colleague, Mike Lee, a Republican senator from Utah, opposed Kostelancik's candidacy by making this argument.

"Mr. David J. Kostelancik has proven that he cannot fulfill his duties in the protection of US interests. His performance in Hungary as an envoy should disqualify him from having a diplomatic mandate. He became involved in Hungarian domestic politics. Attacked media freedom and engaged in social activism. He damaged relations with an important ally of ours. The Biden administration had every opportunity to bring us another name as a nominee when Kostelancik's candidacy was returned by the senate last year," said Republican Mike Lee.

Jeanne Shaheen Senator from Hampshire stressed that the delays in appointing ambassadors are worrying and have consequences for national security. Due to the lack of quorum, her motion was not put to the vote, creating another delay for DASH in bringing an ambassador to Albania. /TCH
