In the margins of the Bled Strategic Forum, Alternate Foreign Minister for European Affairs Nikos Xydakis had bilateral consultations today with Ms. Sanja Štiglic, Deputy MFA of Slovenia, upon the conclusion of which the Slovenian Minister hosted a luncheon in his honor.
During their meeting, the Greek Alternate MFA extended his thanks to the Slovenian government for its support and positive stance towards the refugee crisis since Slovenia has agreed to accommodate a proportionately higher number of migrants and refugees than other EU member-states.
For her part, the Deputy MFA of Slovenia suggested strengthening relations between our two countries more, by means of, among others, frequent bilateral visits and contacts. Moreover, she asked for Greek know-how to be provided on a number of issues, of both European and bilateral interest.
N. Xydakis extended an invitation to Ms. Štiglic to discuss European affairs which the views of Greece and Slovenia significantly converge on.
