  • [01] NATO DMs meeting in Netherlands

    NATO defence ministers examined the course of operations in Kosovo and Afghanistan on the first day of the Alliance's informal meeting in Noordwijk, in the Netherlands, on Wednesday. Greece was represented by Defence Minister Evangelos Meimarakis.

    Addressing the meeting, Meimarakis referred to Afghanistan and stressed the importance of the active involvement of the Afghans themselves as an essential precondition for the successful continuation of the process of building institutions.

    "It is necessary that international officials adopt an integrated approach and coordinate their efforts with the Afghan authorities, in accordance with their priorities, with the prospect of achieving higher levels of effectiveness," the minister said.

    Commenting on developments in Kosovo, the defence minister reiterated that Greece supports all efforts to achieve a workable and viable and not a unilateral solution and that will be compatible with European principles and values and will move in the framework of the region's European prospects.

    He also expressed support for the continuation of KFOR's military presence and stabilising role in the region.

    "We consider necessary the existence of a UN Security Council resolution as an essential legalising basis for the implementation of the final status quo, as well as for the development of the non-military mission of the European Security and Defence Policy in the region," Meimarakis concluded.
