Political career
In 1999, Droutsas went back to Greece to serve as the Special Advisor to Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece,
In the 17 June 2011 cabinet reshuffle, Droutsas was removed as Minister of Foreign Affairs to take over as Member of the European Parliament from Stavros Lambrinidis for the remaining period of the 7th Parliamentary Term (June 22, 2011 – June 30, 2014).[5] In turn, Stavros Lambrinidis became the new Minister of Foreign Affairs. The demotion of Droutsas came after revelations that he had misrepresented his background, both formal qualification and experience, with claims that he had completed his doctoral thesis at the University of Vienna and that he had worked as a professor or assistant professor, claims that were proved to be untrue.[6][7]
Droutsas' works on European Law, International and European Commercial Law, and Foreign and Defense Policy have been published extensively in Greece and abroad.
He speaks German, English, French and Russian. He is married to Faye Karaviti, who is a journalist.
