The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, Nikos Dendias is coming to Kosovo today.

The Greek chief diplomat will be received by President Vjosa Osmani in the afternoon.

The Office of the Presidency announced in a press release that the meeting will begin at 15:00 pm.

What did Dendias say the last time he came to Pristina?

On June 4, 2021, he said in Pristina that he supports visa liberalization for the citizens of Kosovo and the dialogue with Serbia, after a meeting he had with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora in Kosovo, Donika Gërvalla.

"We support the continuation of the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade and call on all parties to step up efforts to reach a legally binding and lasting solution. "This solution will stabilize the whole region and bring the region closer to the European family," Dendias said.

He mentioned, among other things, that Greece is deepening economic relations with Kosovo, while he also stressed the European integration of the Western Balkans.

"We believe that the Western Balkans belong to Europe and should be an integral part of the EU, in this regard we have been in favor of visa liberalization since you have met the criteria. For this, we have taken a position in the Council of Ministers and we will continue to support in the direction of this issue", he declared.
