Progress, security, and prosperity are based on respect of International Law and international treaties, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said during the first session of the NATO Summit meetings on Wednesday, according to information.
Referring to the United States president, who underlined the importance of the Western Balkans for the NATO Alliance's security, Mitsotakis referred especially to the Prespa Agreement which, he said, allowed the enlargement of the Alliance with the accession of North Macedonia. The full implementation of the Prespa Agreement, the Greek prime minister underlined, is necessary for the Alliance, the Western Balkans, and the international community.
The violation or the selective implementation of the Prespa Agreement, he continued, will undermine the credibility of all the efforts to settle the remaining outstanding issues in the Western Balkans and will threaten the region's stability and security. "Pacta sunt servanta: this is something we must all remember," he noted, referring to the fundamental principle of international law that agreements must be kept.
