Greek Foreign Minister Teodoros Pangallos in Tirana. Meetings with Albania’s highest state officials Good relations between Albania and Greece, an important pillar for the future of the region, which must not suffer tragedies like that of Bosnia again FATOS NANO: “Albania maintains that there can be no progress and no start to political negotiations without a cessation of military operations on the ground. We have intensified contacts with influential figures in Kosovo, offering them Albania’s experience from last year, when armed people represented the electoral political process by abandoning extreme demands and radical solutions.” TEODOROS PANGALLOS: “The Greek government is very interested in stopping the secessions that could provoke an armed conflict in Kosovo, since this would have very serious consequences for all the countries bordering Yugoslavia. We will use all our influence over Belgrade, Pangallos added, to halt the fighting on the ground and, on the other hand, we will help carry out manoeuvres and expand Albania’s relations with NATO.” PAGE 2 Nano and Pangallos before their meeting in the prime minister’s office.
