The recent appointment of Monsignor Mitja LESKOVAR as the new Apostolic Nuncio to the Democratic Republic of Congo has sparked significant interest and raised questions about his potential impact in a country with a tumultuous history. With the Congolese Catholic community being one of the most influential and committed on the African continent, the arrival of a representative of the Holy See holds particular importance.
Born on January 3, 1970, Monsignor Mitja LESKOVAR brings a wealth of experience from his diplomatic service within the Holy See, having served in various roles in countries such as Iraq, Germany, and India. His extensive theological and legal background, coupled with his understanding of contemporary geopolitical issues, positions him as a seasoned diplomat capable of navigating complex and sometimes hostile environments.
His mission in the DRC is anticipated to be delicate due to the numerous socio-political, economic, and security challenges the country faces. Given the Catholic Church’s crucial role as a major actor in civil society and defender of human rights, Monsignor LESKOVAR must strive to forge strong relationships with political authorities, civil society representatives, and various religious communities to promote dialogue, reconciliation, and social justice.
At a pivotal moment for the DRC, Monsignor LESKOVAR’s appointment coincides with the country’s efforts towards democratic transition and post-conflict reconstruction. His role as the Apostolic Nuncio will play a crucial part in consolidating peace, upholding ethical values, and safeguarding the most vulnerable populations. Ensuring that the Catholic Church remains a bastion of morality and integrity in times of uncertainty and upheaval will be paramount.
As the people of the DRC, we greet Monsignor Mitja LESKOVAR with optimism and hope, cognizant of the critical challenges that lie ahead for our country. His presence serves as a reminder of the strength of faith, the power of prayer, and the significance of solidarity in overcoming obstacles. May his endeavors be guided by wisdom, compassion, and a commitment to serving the common good, fostering a brighter future for all within the DRC.
