“Seventy-three years since the historic “Suman Declaration”, the European Union of 27 member states is, despite the problems, a unique example of a voluntary union of states in world history,” says Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias in a post on Twitter.

“The aim now is to strengthen the institutions of the EU and strengthen its geopolitical position, based on its common values ​​and community solidarity, so that it is a strong factor in the regional and global development, with a single voice,” he says.

“Greece today, a proud member of the EU thanks to the foresight of Constantinos Karamanlis, is in a position to actively contribute to the security, development and prosperity of our region, supporting the European perspective of the Western Balkans”, he concludes.
