Mitsotakis: Our position on Kosovo unchanged, dialogue only path

BELGRADE - Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Monday in Belgrade his government's position on Kosovo-Metohija remained unchanged and that he believed EU facilitation and dialogue were the only path to normalisation of Belgrade-Pristina relations and greater stability in the region.

At a press conference with Aleksandar Vucic, Mitsotakis said the Serbian president had informed him of developments in the dialogue with Pristina.

"You know that our position on Kosovo remains unchangeable and we believe European facilitation and dialogue are the only path to normalisation of relations between the two sides. That would also significantly help stability in the region, which is the goal for all of us," he said, noting that Vucic, too, wanted stability.

He added that Greece had been watching developments in the past months with concern.

He said Greece strongly supported Serbia on the EU path and that he had discussed EU enlargement many times in Brussels.

"There is a European future for both Serbia and the Western Balkans, and there is no future for us without the Western Balkans and Serbia," Mitsotakis said.
