Greece President hints at recognition of Kosovo


Greek President, Karolos Papoulias, during his visit to Austria stated that his "country is doing positive small and diligent steps in the direction towards recognizing Kosovo independence," Austrian and Greek media report.



Regarding the issues in the Western Balkans, Papoulias stressed that during the meeting with his Austrian counterpart, they both strongly agreed to continue supporting the integration of this region in the European family.

"We have given a promise to integrate all of them and it is important to save our credibility by keeping the promise," said Papoulias.

Regarding the European Mission in Kosovo, he reiterated the Greece determination to participate in implementing this mission, explaining that "Greece follows very closely the situation in Kosovo which it considers a very sensitive issue for Europe."

Greece remains one of the few European countries still in process of deciding the recognition of independence of Kosovo. However, this is the first time that a high Greek official confirms clearly Greece's positive signals in the direction of recognizing the Republic of Kosovo.

Until know, the official position of Greece regarding the recognition of independence of Kosovo has been positively neutral, while actively supporting the deployment of the European Mission in Kosovo and participating in the NATO security forces.

Its more like the NWO holding a gun to Greece's head and blackmailing us with Cyprus or SKopje.

Im not surprised it was only a matter of time before Greece recognizes Kosovo. Like Napalm said it the NWO tightening the noose around the Greek government.

It is not a matter of the NWO tightening the noose around the " greek government". It is the NWO, or EU political dictates; since Greece is a non -complaining member of the nefarious association ( EU mafia) and the "Greek government" an appendix of the EU association, it follows that the so called "government clerks" do not have to bother their grey cells thinking and strategizing on foreign policy. The thinking and strategizing is done in the Brusselian hideout , the clerks make sure the orders are implemented. Greece is a franchise holder of the ravenous corrupt edifice called the EU. As a EU franchise holder , Greece has to blindly follow the franchisor's practices and vices. More abject genuflection, obeissance and compliance has no record in our history, except perhaps during the Ottoman occupation.
