Athens' prosecution has intervened to investigate the Serbian Ministry's “secret funds” given to Albanian media
Former Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias at today's handover ceremony questioned about this frustrated issue used the words '%idiotheti and ʹmunge seriousness.
If it's true, it's like telling strangers that we're not serious. We made a special law for secret funds which are controlled and approved by a council and go directly to parliament, he said.
