The United States Senate committee on foreign relations will hold
hearings on the nomination of new U.S. ambassador to Azerbaijan.
The hearing on approval of Robert Cekuta's nomination to the post
of the U.S. ambassador to Baku was scheduled for September 17, the
committee reported.
The committee also will hold hearings to approve nominations for the
post of new ambassadors to Armenia, Macedonia and Montenegro.
Cekuta, nominated by U.S. President Barack Obama, is Principal Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State of the Energy Resources Bureau. He also
has direct oversight over the Bureau's work on transparency and access
to energy. Bob comes to the Bureau having most recently been Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Energy, Sanctions, and Commodities in the
State Department's Bureau for Energy and Business Affairs.
Cekuta, in case his candidacy approved, will replace Richard
Morningstar, who completed his diplomatic mission late this summer.
