The Greek government confirmed its readiness to take initiative and contribute to every process that may lead to a negotiated solution that will be in favor of stability in the West Balkans, the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released in a statement.
In reaction to the advisory opinion of the ICJ regarding Kosovo's unilateral proclamation of independence, the Greek government confirmed its readiness to take initiative and contribute to every process that may lead to a negotiated solution that will be in favor of stability in the West Balkans, the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released in a statement.
According to a statement released by the Greek Embassy, the Greek government has already launched talks with its European partners and all interested parties.
The Greek government stated that the advisory opinion elaborates on the legal aspects of Kosovo's unilateral proclamation of independence delivered at request of the UN General Assembly, adding that Greek position is well known and that ensuring stability, cooperation and peace in the Balkans is its key priority.
"These guiding principles define Greece's stance and must prevail in the aftermath of the ICJ advisory opinion. It is our strong belief that the universal respect and promotion of these fundamental principles is the safest way leading to the EU integration of the Western Balkans," the ministry stated.
The Greek government stated that it backs the EU integration path of the West Balkans through its initiative, the Agenda 2014, which encapsulates the EU vision of the peoples of the region.
