Dendias in Pristina: Western Balkans’ path towards EU a one-way street

The western Balkans’ path towards the European Union “is a one-way street”, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said on Tuesday, following his meeting with his Kovoso counterpart Donika Gervalla-Schwarz in Pristina.

“Within this framework, I believe that progress in dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade will be instrumental in promoting the EU aspirations; a future in which revisionist policies and neo-imperialist ideology, maybe envisioned by some countries, is unacceptable for us. This is a 19th-century, not a 21st-century, agenda.”

He also said his recent meetings with other counterparts of SE European countries “highlights the significance Greece attaches to the region and to its close collaboration with the western Balkans.”

Dendias also attended a reception in his honor by Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti.
