The incumbent is expected to be able to use English comfortably, with sufficient ability to interpret the nuances of complex political and bureaucratic phrases.

The incumbent will be responsible for maintaining post’s unclassified biographic files. The incumbent should develop a keen sense of the power relationships in Croatia in order to recommend meetings to be made as well as suggest guest lists for functions.
