Frankfurt (Germany), 25 February (LaPresse) – The Governing Council of the European Central Bank today adopted a favourable opinion on the EU Council's recommendation for the appointment of the new Vice-President of the institution. The ECB raised no objections to the candidacy of Boris Vujcic, who is considered ‘a person of recognised standing and professional experience in monetary and banking matters’, as required by Article 283(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Vujcic is currently Governor of Hrvatska narodna banka, the Croatian central bank. Following the opinion of the ECB Governing Council and the European Parliament, the formal appointment will be made by the European Council. The opinion will be published shortly in the Official Journal of the European Union and made available on the ECB's website in all official EU languages. If confirmed, Vujcic will take office on 1 June 2026 for a non-renewable eight-year term. He will succeed Luis de Guindos, whose term as Vice-President of the ECB expires on 31 May 2026.
