Journalist Stavri Marko in the studio of the show Opinion considered today's visit to Himare by the Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, historic. According to the journalist, Greece was not aware of this visit.

Stavri Marko: Today in Himare there were only Greek flags and no Albanian ones.

Blendi Fevziu: This is the first visit of a prime minister or a very high level Greek official to Himare. So far they have visited the Dropulli area mainly, why was this visit to Himare?

Stavri Marko: I remember in 2004 when I was in Athens in a delegation of international journalists, I spoke with former president Stephanopoulos then, why don't you come to Himare. He tells me that the Albanian government is still in the era of dictatorship and does not allow us to visit because it does not recognize us as a minority area. During this time, it is known that there will be a reaction from here, if the usual practices that have always happened since no one goes to Himara and the Greek interest in that area has dropped almost completely. Meanwhile, something happened in Himara that caught everyone unsuspecting.

Blendi Fevziu: What was it?

Stavri Marko: It was a great, historical show, for which the square of Himara, for the first time those old men and women and young people who are there were happy that finally a representative of the Greek state came, high. It is considered a holiday. I would say that I had debates with Greek journalists because a source from the USA came to me and I made it news, that in Greece they did not know that Mitsotakis would come to Himara. We find out here, my colleagues in Greece told me, how it is happening. I have come to a conclusion that this development in Albania, which is also a regional-Balkan development, has at its epicenter crisis management throughout the Balkans, under the framework of the NATO, EU, and US systems, which have take the initiative to make some changes always under the EU context. I doubt because this organization has become even wider between the governments themselves, Albanian and Greek, but it should be more in the American influence./tvklan.al
