President of Republic Prokopis Pavlopoulos on Monday in a meeting with Albania’s Foreign Minister Ditmir Bushati sent clear messages to the Albanian government for its stance on the refugee problem and its stance towards our expatriates.
Greece is seeking to have good relations with neighboring Albania and has proven it in many cases, Pavlopoulos stated.
On the basis of those agreed, Pavlopoulos stressed:
“First, we ask from Albania to hold a stance that complies with the principles and values of Europe and on the basis of how Greece treated Albanians during their exodus. We also ask them to refrain from phobias, which some European countries and some neighboring countries in the Western Balkans have adopted.
Secondly, we ask for a better treatment and the full respect of the human rights of our expatriates in Albania. Do not forget that Greece has behaved in the best possible way to the large Albanian community in Greece. And we ask for our expatriates to have the same treatment based on their rights as provided by the international law.
Finally, we ask for a meeting of the committee that will solve the issue of burial of the Greeks who fell in the struggle against the Axis.”
