Czechs secure key roles in cabinets of EU commissioners

Several Czech representatives have joined the cabinets of new European commissioners, according to the Czech Press Agency (ČTK). Karolína Kottová will serve in the cabinet of Slovenian Commissioner Marta Kos, while two other Czechs will work with Spanish Vice-President Teresa Ribera and French Vice-President Stéphane Séjourné. Efforts to place Czechs in other commissioners' teams were supported by Czech EU Commissioner Jozef Síkela. His own cabinet includes members from six nations, including France, Italy, and Latvia. Additionally, Czech diplomat Veronika Musilová has joined European Council President António Costa's cabinet, focusing on relations with Asia, the Pacific, and the UK.
