The Julie Fisher with a background in Belarus appears to be the Biden administration's choice for the new US ambassador to Cyprus.
However, Fisher's nomination will have to be confirmed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee following the usual hearing process.
According to the White House announcement, Julie Fisher is a career diplomat serving as the US Special Envoy for Belarus based in Vilnius, Lithuania. Her appointment was confirmed in 2020 and marked an upgrade in Washington's diplomatic representation in Belarus, as the U.S. had not appointed an ambassador to that country since 2008.
In addition, Ms. Fisher has previously served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Western Europe and the European Union at the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, and has also served as Deputy Permanent Representative of the U.S. Mission to NATO.
