The visit of the Greek Foreign Minister I the region had two phases. Last month, the tour started with Belgrade, Skopje and Podgorica.
Kotzias will arrive in Tirana on the 14th day of this month, where he will meet with the political leaders.
Top Channel sources in Athens clarify that a series of developments are expected from this visit. Athens will reconfirm its support to the European path of Albania and for the integration processes. They are also expected to discuss joint energy projects, including TAP and the gasification of Albania.
The maritime agreement is also an interesting point. Top Channel sources say that both parties are hoping for a quick solution, without letting it in the hands of the international intermediation or the International Justice Court.
Greece might withdraw the agreement which will leave 250-300 square kilometers of sea to Albania. This will be a happy development for Tirana, which doesn’t want to lose sovereignty in this part of the sea.
In exchange, Athens will request the involvement of Greek companies in the Jon 5 researches.
