In harmony with the line of Washington, the Greek Foreign Ministry and by extension Greece proceeded to indirect recognition of Kosovo by allowing establishment of the Office of Commercial Affairs.

Proceedings recognizes the legitimate violent change of borders in the Balkans recognizing the results of the war of 1999 and the amputation of Serbia by NATO and of course opening of worms and other cases: Assuming that a religious or ethnic minority has the right self-determination and secession of the region in which it has a majority population!

Do something to remind us kath'imas this scenario? But it seems that there is now a question or problem for the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the last 15 years seems to run directly from Washington except the period of political chief was Molyviatis.

So today while Kosovo has not been recognized as an independent state, Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos and "foreign minister" of Kosovo Enver Hoxhaj, met in Athens and reported substantially symapsi diplomatic relations.

The foreign minister, however, stressed that the establishment of the Office of Commercial Affairs in Athens, will not affect Greece's positions on the status, "but it sends a clear message that development is a key tool and a catalyst for peace."

This pernicious idea, since the economy is never preceded the national policy and national interests.

And what he said may have been true for France and Germany, but the Balkan data for threats when national integrity is more than real, such perceptions can act not only against national interests, but to lead to national tragedies if in the name of "development" and "economic cooperation" go to discounts from our national locations as happened in this case.

Naturally thus recognized the right of the Albanian irredentism (do not forget that just last week S.Berisa H.Thatsi and agreed to get passports  to Albanian residents of Kosovo), recognized  the Greater Albania with new borders.
