The European Commission has confirmed that the selection process for Birgitte Nygaard Markussen as the EU's special representative for the Sahel region was conducted in accordance with existing procedures. This follows initial concerns raised by Slovenia over Tanja Fajon's nomination, which had been proposed by the European External Action Service (EEAS).

The ministry reportedly found that the initiative for Fajon’s nomination came from the head of the EU Council rather than the Slovenian government at the time.
