Where is the recognition from Greece?

In addition to Foreign Affairs Minister Donika Grovalla, Prime Minister Kurti's efforts were in vain for a new state to recognise Kosovo's independence, writes Periscope.

As in last year, even this year, the “recognition by Greece” has been mentioned as the state closer to recognising Kosovo by the fifth EU. But here, add to the fact that Prime Minister Kurti goes to Symi almost every year to participate in the International Symposium, but in the hope that this country will make a move towards the recognition of our country.

Where is the recognition from Greece?

In addition to Prime Minister Kurti, Foreign Affairs Minister Donika Gervalla-Schwarz, in a local show he had declared 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 is looking for a good moment 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, I follow Periscope.

Meanwhile, Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti had praised it as a progress in discoursing Greece's approach to Kosovo.

He even said at a media conference he didn't do meetings in the Greek state “as with tupan or vuvuzela because it's harmful”

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

So at least he had 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”He said the Greek diplomat for Tanjug.

Meanwhile, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias, at the time of tensions in the country's north, had spoken against recognising Kosovo's independence.

For opposition in Kosovo, this is a major government failure in international arena

I appreciate that we have never been worse as a state in the international arena because we have no recognition and no membership in international organisations. Moreover, I appreciate that it is a failure that we have no recognition of the five rejecters from the European Union”, PDK deputy Ariana Musliusshi has declared for the Albanian Clan.

While LDK deputy Rzazarta Krasniqi said there is only aggression on the foreign policy plain.

We only have regrass and you know that we've been expelled from Doffender 23, while the Foreign Affairs Minister doesn't come to report despite 20 invitations we've made to”.

While by AAK, Time Kadriaj said foreign policy is “total failure”.

” Total lack of foreign policy, we have no recognition of any membership in international organisations, degradation of dialogue and damage to Kosovo's subjectivity in the international arena”.

But Vetevendosje in power views it as successful in 2023 and does not view new recognitions as important.

” As for what Kosovo has done in terms of international subjectivity, I think it has never done a government in the past”, says VV MP Arbereta Kryeziu Hyseni.

According to Vetevendosje, launching the application to become a member of the European Union and passing the first phase into the Council of Europe are some of the successes in the international arena for Kosovo.

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