Former Labour MEP Joseph Cuschieri is set to be nominated as Malta’s next ambassador to Greece, The Malta Independent has learnt.
Mr Cuschieri had given up his parliamentary seat in 2008 to make way for Joseph Muscat, who had been elected party leader but who had not contested the 2008 election.
Since then, he was elected as Labour MEP but did not get elected again in the follow9ing round of MEP elections in 2014.
The Maltese government has proposed his name to the Greek government, which is still to confirm the nomination.
