Greek media writes about the investigation over the maritime border agreement between Albania and Greece. “Kathimerini” newspaper says that with this investigation going on the “tension” between countries may grow.
“Greece’s hopes of agreeing an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the Ionian Sea with Albania have been dealt another blow after the prosecutor’s office in Tirana launched an investigation into the agreement between the two countries”, writes the newspaper.
Diplomatic sources in Athens told Kathimerini that the launch of the probe was a major setback to moving forward with the agreement and that relations between Greece and Albania are becoming increasingly strained.
“We have the will to look to the future and discuss the issue on the basis of the fundamental principles of international law and on the basis of mutual interest,” Bushati said when questioned about the EEZ agreement during a visit to Athens in February./albeu/
