And while in Belgrade, Trump has nominated Mark Brnovich since March, and in Athens, Kimberly Guilfoyle has been confirmed in recent days, for Tirana and Pristina, there is no process underway.
Kimberly Guilfoyle is expected to officially take office as US ambassador to Greece, after the Senate confirmed President Donald Trump's nomination in a hearing.
In this way, after Serbia, President Donald Trump in his second term has also appointed the US ambassador to Greece, while there is still no development regarding the appointment of US Ambassadors to Albania and Kosovo. Both in Tirana and Pristina, the American diplomatic mission is led by envoys, a lower diplomatic profile than that of ambassadors, which in many cases can also be translated as a 'low attention' regarding domestic developments.
And while in Pristina, the American ambassador has been absent for 7 months, in Tirana for more than two years, the US Embassies are run by an "Envoy on Business", as this is felt in domestic developments, considering the fact that American diplomats in at least the last two decades have been very active in every political, economic or social situation in Albania.
And while in Belgrade, Trump has nominated Mark Brnovich since March, while in Athens Kimberly Guilfoyle has been confirmed in recent days, for Tirana and Pristina, there is no process started. So there is no candidate name proposed by the Head of the White House, who then goes through the standard Senate procedures. This means that in both countries, the US Embassies will continue, perhaps for several months, to be led by 'chargés d'affaires', although both Albania and Kosovo are considered the two most pro-American countries in Europe.
Confirmation of the ambassador to Greece
The Senate hearing for the confirmation of the American ambassador to Athens marked an unusual moment.
American media reports that as Guilfoyle appeared at the Senate hearing, a member of the Trump family was sitting behind her, expressing full support for the candidacy.
Media reports suggest that Guilfoyle was not selected as an ambassador by President Donald Trump seven months ago. She was not even selected for the position by her ex-fiancé Donald Trump Jr., whom she once called her "soulmate" and "lifelong friend" during their six-year relationship.
The one who gave him the most support was Donald Trump III.
And she shared the moment of the hearing with her followers by posting videos and photos, which featured her son Ronan Villency and Donald Trump III, the son of Donald Trump Jr. and grandson of Donald Trump. Donald Trump III is seen sitting behind the former Fox News television personality as she addresses the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The incoming U.S. ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, is a former model, lawyer and Fox News anchor. She has been well-known in Trump's inner circle. Guilfoyle previously appeared on Fox News' "The Five" and "Outnumbered." Before her relationship with Donald Trump Jr., Guilfoyle was married to California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, while he was mayor of San Francisco. They divorced in 2006, and she married furniture heir Eric Villency that same year. They had a son, Ronan Villency, but divorced in 2009.
Donald Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle were together from 2018 to 2024. Both were active in the 2020 presidential election, appearing at rallies and giving speeches. Donald Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle were also active in the 2024 presidential election.
Donald Trump nominated Guilfoyle as the next U.S. ambassador to Greece, days after photos emerged of Donald Trump Jr. kissing Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.
On May 7, Breitbart News journalist Matthew Boyle shared a photo online of Kimberly Guilfoyle "graduating from ambassador school."
The U.S. State Department requires American ambassadors and diplomats to attend training at the Foreign Service Institute. According to its website, the curriculum includes foreign language studies, an understanding of government, and leadership training.
Although she and Donald Trump Jr. are no longer in a relationship, Guilfoyle continues to be a strong supporter of his father and uses her various platforms to spread news about the Trump administration. /Pamphlet/
