The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Dendias, during his visit on Wednesday to Tirana, conveyed a very subtle but clear message regarding Albania's European perspective and the consequences of the undermining role played in the Western Balkans by third parties with a revisionist agenda, such as Turkey.

Dendias, however, expressed his general optimism for Greek-Albanian relations, but also for the prospect of moving forward on bilateral issues, such as the signing of the agreement to refer to the delimitation of maritime zones in The Hague.

Dendia's message was in fact an indirect response to Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, who on Wednesday participated in the signing of the contract for the procurement of three Turkish Bayraktar UAVs from Albania.

Among other things, Rama said that "thanking is not enough for my friend [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan" and added that "we are proud to be on the same side and strategic partners with Turkey".

Dendias, who had lunch with Rama, said afterwards that Albania has made a key choice to become a member of the EU and to settle in the strong core of the European family. "This is where we Greeks believe it belongs. But this means a number of parameters", he said.

Dendias emphasized that Greece has no problem with Turkey per se. "But there is a big problem with Turkish revisionism, as with all revisionism. Therefore, every parameter should serve the European idea on the one hand, but on the other hand, it should not allow revisionism in the region", he said.

His talks with the Foreign Minister of Albania, Olta Xhacka, focused on accelerating the dialogue on the basis of the existing political agreement, for reaching an agreement on the referral of the issue of delimitation of the maritime areas and continental shelves of the two countries to arbitration by the International Court of Justice.
