The American ambassador in Tirana, Yuri Kim, has taken one of the most important positions in the State Department.
Yuri Kim has just been officially announced as the principal deputy assistant secretary for European Affairs (and acting assistant secretary until Jim O'Brien is confirmed), effective July 10.
The Department of Europe is the largest and most important in the Department of State.
Jim O'Brien, whose duty I will exercise temporarily, is in charge of sanctions against individuals who violate American national security policies anywhere in the world, as is the case of Sali Berisha in Albania.
