Kurt every year in Symi, Greece, and recognition, but Greece's recognition seems nowhere

Kurt's criticism last year also involved that the prime minister was continuing to stay in Symi, despite the fact that the city of Decani was facing the emergency state of poisoning of thousands of citizens.

The response of Prime Minister Kurti last year was that he was also staying in Greece for recognition. Since then, there has been continuing news about how Greece, in fact, could actually move towards recognition.

Prime Minister Kurti participated in Symi this year, but recognition from Greece is not yet coming.

For the long stay on the Greek island, the prime minister had an answer that became viral and highly commented. He said Greece had met many businesses but that it could not rise more.

Where is the recognition from Greece?

Apart from Prime Minister Kurti, Minister of Foreign Affairs Donika Gervalla-Schharres, in a local show has stated that “Greece may be one of the first EU states to recognise us, but it cannot give a specific date”.

She had also talked about the interstate reports with Greece and had said that with official Athens they have very good reports, even better than with some states that have recognised Kosovo but that official Pristina does not have any report.

With Greece we have extremely good reports. With Greece we discuss perhaps more intensively than with the states that have known us. Greece in search for a good time to take the final step. The more Kosovo is proven as a serious European partner. I think with Greece, I don't mean the date or predict what happens. But the reports are very good and we discuss a lot of themes”, He said Gervala.

Meanwhile, Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti had deemed Greece's approach to Kosovo as a progression.

Even at a media conference, he had said that meetings in the Greek state do not add “as to tupan or vuvuzela because it is harmful”.

Unfortunately, Greece is not changing its stance and will not recognise Kosovo.

So at least it has declared Greek Ambassador to Serbia Giorgos Giacoftakis and added that there is no pressure on his country to do so.

“During his recent visit to Belgrade (3 June), Foreign Affairs Minister Nikos Dendias reiterated that Greece's stance remains unchanged and that it has no intention of recognising Kosovo's independence”, the Greek diplomat told Tanjug.

Meanwhile, a few days ago, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias, a day after developments in the country's north, was also standing on a visit to Vietnam.

He there spoke against recognising Kosovo's independence, for what, former Kosovo Foreign Minister Enver Hoxhaj blamed Prime Minister Kurti.

The remaining “in Tirana, the prime minister of Spain and the Greek foreign minister in Vietnam, against recognition of independence, eventually buried a moment and a long-term historical chance of”, Hoxhaj wrote on August 2nd on Facebook.

Greece, along with Spain, Slovakia, Cyprus and Romania, remains the five European countries that have not yet recognised Kosovo. /Enis Rrustemi/Periscopi/
