The Greek Foreign Minister is expected to visit Tirana on May 23rd

It is learned that in our country Mr. Dendias will meet with his counterpart Olta Xhaçka and with Prime Minister Rama.

The sources clarified that Athens is very interested in advancing the European agenda of the Western Balkans region.

In terms of bilateral relations, Athens’s interest is to speed up the procedures for sending to the Hague tribunal the demarcation of the maritime border between the two countries, but also for the rest of the bilateral issues, for which talks are understandable, but still agreed between both parties.

It seems that both sides are not very interested in reopening at this very delicate moment due to the war in Ukraine negotiations on hot issues with the two countries.

This is because in Greece within the year there will be parliamentary elections, where as is known the Greek political situation is extremely complicated and sensitive to issues considered taboo with neighbors, such as the law of war or property issues of citizens on both sides of border with Albania, which significantly lowers expectations for a significant advancement of the bilateral agenda.

Meanwhile, the Albanian side is not very interested in resuming an important phase of talks with the southern neighbor as Ilir Meta is still in the presidential building, which would nullify any attempt to talk about these issues due to the refusal of the president to give authorization. for any negotiations of this level.

What is expected is the Greek support for Albania’s integration path, as well as the agreement to launch several joint projects in the field of energy or infrastructure projects.

No Greek surprise is excluded for the issue of Kosovo, where as it is known Athens is ready to start the process of recognition of Kosovo, a decision already taken by Athens officials, but according to very reliable sources in this ministry, the right moment is expected, which, sources say, will not be far off.
