Coming to the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers, which is taking place today in Brussels, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Dendias, said:
“I would first like to express the satisfaction of the Greek government because tomorrow, finally, the 1st Intergovernmental meeting with Albania and North Macedonia will take place here in Brussels after a long effort and a particularly painful process.
Beyond that, the Council today has to discuss a number of important issues, as always lately, the issues concerning the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in fact there will be a teleconference with Dmytro Kuleba, who will inform us about the latest developments, but also the issue of the EU-Israel Association Council which has been held since 2012 and a solution must be found to this issue, the meeting in Cairo of EU Ministers with the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Arab League, which he strongly supports the Greek side, but also issues of the Western Balkans, especially Bosnia and Herzegovina, as you know we have repeatedly expressed our concern about this situation.
I think an atmosphere quite charged for summer”.
