“The Western Balkans should look to the future, not the past,” Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said on Thursday after meeting his Kosovo counterpart Donika Gërvalla-Schwarz during a visit to Athens, ANA reports.
“It is not possible to return to the 19th century, there is no possibility of choosing the neo-Ottomanism that seems to be appearing in our wider neighborhood,” he added.
Dendias said that Greece will always support efforts to create bridges of cooperation and peace in the region and, as the first country of the Balkans to join the EU, felt obligated to help the entire region become part of the European family.
Gërvalla-Schwarz reported an “excellent meeting between neighbors” and referred to the prospects for cooperation in areas such as the economy, culture, and science. She noted that Kosovo was open to new investments and reported an increase in foreign direct investments and interest expressed by investors in Germany and other EU countries.
She said the two sides had agreed to explore the possibilities for further cooperation in the energy sector, such as the TAP pipeline.
