Pema) TIRANA - “Albanian-Greek relations have not broken down over time, but in their state and political relations there have been disagreements that must be overcome,” said yesterday at Rinas airport the Greek Foreign Minister, Karolos Papulias. The head of Greek diplomacy arrives in Tirana on 14 March for a two-day visit during which he will meet the highest officials of the Albanian state. Since today’s meeting with the President of the Republic and Prime Minister Meksi takes place in a climate shaken by the recent incident in Kakavija, the attention of Albanian and Greek public opinion is focused on concrete signs. At the airport the Greek minister was received by his Albanian counterpart Alfred Serreqi. They had a brief conversation and then appeared before journalists. “The problems we have with Greece are well known, but we see them as problems that can and must be solved with understanding and good faith,” said Serreqi. For his part, Papulias stated that his visit aims to strengthen the climate of understanding and open the way to a new period in bilateral relations. He stressed that Greece supports stability in the region and a democratic, developed Albania. The meeting comes just days after tensions recorded at the border and the debate over migrants, the minority, and economic cooperation. The Albanian government has expressed the expectation that the Greek side will help lower tensions and find practical solutions to the unresolved issues. According to diplomatic sources, the talks will also address border security, the crossing regime, the activity of extremist organizations, and the possibilities for increasing trade exchanges. In the city, Papulias’s arrival has generated great interest. Tirana hopes that this visit will provide the right signal for the normalization of Albanian-Greek relations. Concrete results are expected after today’s official meetings.
