ATHENS – The President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou expressed Greece’s commitment to further strengthening strategic relations with Serbia and its support of Serbia’s EU accession course at her meeting on Tuesday with visiting Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic at the presidential mansion.

During the meeting, which was held in the presence of Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias, the excellent level of bilateral relations between the two countries and their growing potential was reaffirmed.

Sakellaropoulou reiterated that Greece strongly supports Serbia’s EU accession course and reminded that EU’s enlargement to the Western Balkans is a strategic goal, an adamant position that was first expressed at the Thessaloniki Summit in 2003.

Finally, Sakellaropoulou thanked Selakovic for his country’s support during the previous summer’s disastrous wildfires.
