After his meeting with Serbian President Boris Tadic, Papoulias said Greece's stand is well known. He said his country had always been in favor of a mutually acceptable solution which would be based on international law, which would respect minority rights and would produce neither winners nor losers.
The Greek president underscored that protection of the population and cultural monuments are the basic goals of Greece's participation in international missions in Kosovo.
"On a number of occasions, my country has presented a stand that Serbia is the strategic partner and a key collocutor of Greece, and it is a country that should play a stabilizing role in the region," said Papoulias.
Tadic thanked his Greek counterpart for his country's principled stance regarding Kosovo's status, underscoring that Serbia will never give up the province, "or the country's path to the EU". |
