IBNA SPECIAL REPORT/ President of Greece, Karolos Papoulias started on Sunday, November 3 a three day visit to Albania. After a meeting with the Greek minority, Mr. Papoulias started on Monday an intensive agenda of meetings with the highest authorities of the country. The meetings didn’t bring any concrete results.
The Albanian side demanded the abrogation of the war law, the recognition of the state of Kosovo and for the border practice of stopping Albanians born in Greece, if the name of the birthplace has not been written like it’s known in Greece (for example, Thessalonica in Albanian documents is written Selanik, Kastoria, Kostur, etc) to be put to an end. The Greek side had another agenda in Tirana.
The sea border (EEZ) was the main demand that the head of the Hellenic state had toward Albania. This demand received a cold answer by Albanian authorities: “The agreement has been abrogated by the court, let us start the negotiations from the beginning”.
This way, with two different agendas without any common elements between them, it was clear that the visit of president Papoulias didn’t bring any solutions. This also triggered criticism against Athens due to Papoulias’ disregard toward the demands of the Albanian side, by not willing to mention any of them.................- See more at: http://www.balkaneu.com/presidents-papoulias-visit-doesnt-manage-resolve-delicate-issues-albania-greece/#sthash.Xp4tJjq8.dpuf
