G. KATROUGALOS: It is with pleasure that I welcomed the Deputy Prime Minister of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Mr. Osmani, in Greece, as a friend.We discussed the promotion of, and respect for, the spirit of the Prespa Agreement, as an agreement that does not only solve one single problem that has plagued our two countries, but which also stabilises the wider region of the Balkans and also ensures the European perspective of the countries in our region. This is something that represents long-standing policy for our side, as early as the Thessaloniki Summit Meeting, which opened Europe's doors to our neighbouring countries.And we shall have the opportunity to visit “Eleftherios Venizelos” Airport together, from where the first, maiden flight to Skopje will depart, now that one of the thorny issues which hindered such a journey has been resolved, in other words the change in this country’s name. I received Mr. Osmani as a friend, and we hope for this cooperation to continue in the future as well.
