Ivana Trump "could be very good at diplomacy," a senior Czech diplomat said Thursday as he welcomed Donald Trump's ex-wife's interest in being the U.S. ambassador to the Czech Republic.

Ivana, the Czech-born first wife of the president-elect and mother of his children Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric, said in an interview last week that she would ask her ex for the top diplomatic post in her native country — a move welcomed by a senior figure in the prime minister's office in Prague.

"If [Ivana] comes, she would be welcomed and it would be easy for her to connect with the people," Tomáš Prouza, the state secretary for European affairs at the Czech Prime Minister's Office, told POLITICO.

"She would definitely reach out to people easily and could be very good in public diplomacy."

Prouza added: "I don't expect anyone to protest."

Trump has not been shy of appointing family members to to his team. Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr., and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, were last week added to his transition team.

"I will suggest that I be ambassador for the Czech Republic,” Ivana told the New York Post last week.

“[That] is where I’m from and my language and everybody knows me. I’m quite known all around the world. Not only in America. I have written three books, and they were translated in 40 countries in 25 languages. I’m known by the name Ivana. I really did not need the name Trump.”

Ivana is a former model who left what was then Czechoslovakia in 1973. After her divorce from Trump in 1992, she stayed on as "Vice President of Interior Design" for the Trump Organization.

Speaking about the election campaign, Ivana told the New York Post: “Donald is like a good French wine. He doesn’t like to be moved and traveled."

“The last 18 months, he traveled as much as he ever has in his life. Thank God he has his private plane, but still, it was brutal. It’s not going to get any better; it will get worse in the White House.”

Ivana would not be the first celebrity to represent the U.S. in Prague. Shirley Temple Black was ambassador to Czechoslovakia under George H.W. Bush.

A spokesperson for Trump did not respond to a request for comment.
