He will replace German diplomat Joachim Ruecker, who is leaving this week after a wave of criticism for his bias in favor of downsizing of the UN mission and upgrading oft the EU presence.
Zannier is a fomer director of the OSCE Centre for Conflict Prevention in Vienna.
Apart from the UN's first special representative to Kosovo Sergio De Mella, a Brazilian who stayed there for a month, all other Unmik chiefs were from EU countries.
