About Eduard Kukan

  • Eduard Kukan (born 26 December 1939) served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Slovakia from 1998 to 2006.
  • He was a candidate in the presidential election held on 3 April 2004, and although pre-election polls had suggested he would come in first, he actually came in third behind former prime minister VladimĂ­r Meciar and Ivan Gašparovic, thus preventing him from contesting the run-off.
  • He was elected Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in 2009, a position he held until 2019. In 1999, Kukan was appointed United Nations Special Envoy on Kosovo by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, a role he held alongside Carl Bildt.
