Will the Croatian prime minister be the first man of NATO?

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg's mandate expires on September 30 of this year and it is expected that the name of his successor will be announced by the NATO summit, which will be held in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius on the 11th and July 12.

In recent weeks, Western media have been speculating more and more often about the candidates for Stoltenberg's successor, and yesterday two Swedish daily newspapers, the social democrat Aftonbladet and the conservative Svenska Dagbladet, joined in this speculation.

Both newspapers mention Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic as a serious candidate for the new Secretary General of NATO, Telegrafi reports.

Aftonbladet writes that the countries of Eastern and Central Europe have long felt neglected in the distribution of the main tasks in the European Union and NATO.

The Swedish paper points out that this opens up space for current Romanian President Klaus Joahanis, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Croatia's Andrej Plenkovic.

However, Joahani's presidential term expires in November 2024 and Kalas is considered too hostile to Russia, which puts Plenkovic in the favored position if the next Secretary General is sought in this part of Europe.

It must be said that Plenkovic was considered by Swedish opinion as one of the leaders of the European People's Party and an influential figure in the European Union.

Swedish media further speculate that for the first time in history, a woman could take the leadership of NATO, however, all three mentioned candidates have some obstacles and shortcomings.

Finland's former Social Democrat prime minister Sana Marin will have a hard time getting to that position, not only because Finland became a member of NATO this week, but also because the last two secretaries-general come from the Nordic countries.

Danish Anders Fog Rasmusen and Norwegian Stoltenberg. Perhaps it would be too much if the third secretary in a row came from the north of Europe.

Among the candidates is the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who was the German Minister of Defense for six years, but her mandate ends at the end of 2024.

It is said that the current German Minister of Foreign Affairs, Analena Berbok, may be, but it is hard to believe that the allies would accept NATO and the EU being headed by two German women.
