Nils Daniel Carl Bildt [▶] (born July 15, 1949) is a Swedish politician and diplomat. He was Prime Minister of Sweden 1991–1994, and leader of the liberal conservative Moderate Party 1986–1999.
Bildt was born in Halmstad, Halland. He was elected leader of the Moderate Party in 1986, succeeding Ulf Adelsohn to the post. In 1991 the Social Democrats lost the election and a right-wing coalition government led by Carl Bildt came to power. Bildt was Prime Minister from 1991 to 1994, coincidentally an office that had been held by his great-great-grandfather Gillis Bildt, a century earlier.
After the term in government, he was active as mediator in the Balkans conflict, served as the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina from December 1995 to June 1997 immediately after the Bosnian War. From 1999 to 2001, he served as the as the UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for the Balkans.
In 1999 he was also succeeded as party leader by Bo Lundgren.
