Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias’ statement upon arrival at the EU Foreign Affairs Council (Brussels, 24.01.2022)

A particularly interesting discussion will be held in the Foreign Affairs Council today. First of all, on issues concerning Syria, Libya, but also issues concerning Ukraine, which are of particular interest to Greece due to the significant Greek Diaspora population living in the wider area of Mariupol.

The discussion on Bosnia and Herzegovina is also something of great importance for us. A country that interests us for the stability and peace of the Balkans. Bosnia and Herzegovina constitutes a black hole at the heart of Europe that needs to be addressed through an electoral reform, which will allow for elections to take place in October, enabling Bosnia and Herzegovina to become a country that functions properly and to acquire a new prospect for its European path.
