WE REITERATE ONCE AGAIN THE URGENT NEED FOR DIALOGUE BETWEEN ALBANIA AND GREECE

WE REITERATE ONCE AGAIN THE URGENT NEED FOR DIALOGUE BETWEEN ALBANIA AND GREECE Yesterday during the day on both television channels, si-[?] mately, in the end, the official voices were explaining and al- so speaking about the spy case. It was said that, because this person has left Albania, he cannot participate in the trial, etc. etc. Precisely regarding this issue, despite the many statements, there is still uncertainty. Attempts have been made to present the matter in a form that does not help at all to calm the political climate between the two countries. We are convinced that Albanian-Greek dialogue, despite the difficulties, is the only way to solve the many problems that have accumulated. Both sides must avoid formulations and actions that further burden relations. In this sense, we reiterate once again the urgent need for dialogue between Albania and Greece. Only through serious and responsible talks can tensions be overcome and a better climate of understanding created. This position is in the interest of both peoples and in the interest of stability in the region.
