FM Kotzias: Agreement with Skopje will contribute to Balkan region's development
The agreement of Greece with Skopje over the name issue was not signed in order to facilitate the country's accession to the European Union and NATO, Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias told Sto Kokkino FM on Tuesday.
"We resolved the issue because we think it's beneficial to Greece to resolve issues that keep us shackled to history, and to be able to join other peoples in looking to the future," Kotzias said, asserting that the agreement will pass in the Greek Parliament "provided we seriously work to explain it" instead of allowing the opposition's misrepresentations to prevail.
Now that Greece is exiting the crisis, it must bring the whole Balkan region with it on a trajectory of development, which the agreement with Skopje will contribute to, he noted.
