Greece’s Non-Recognition Of Kosovo Remains Unchanged
Greece’s stance regarding non-recognition of Kosovo remains unchanged. At the same time, Greece firmly supports the continuation of the EU-facilitated dialogue between Belgrade and Priština and the efforts of Miroslav Lajčak, with a view to reaching a comprehensive agreement that will contribute to strengthening the stability and security of the whole region. In this context, we welcomed, along with the other EU member states, the European proposal to put the relationship between Belgrade and Priština on a new and sustainable footing ~ Maria Levanti

One of the first visits she paid was to the Serbian National Assembly, the country’s parliament, because she believes that the national parliaments are important channels of communication between the two countries. “Greek-Serbian Parliamentary Friendship Groups are among the largest groups in both the Greek and
Serbian parliaments and I am very content to realise that they are very active,” adds Ambassador Levanti in her first interview for CorD Magazine. Your Excellency, your term as ambassador to Serbia began recently. How are you finding life in Belgrade?
