[01] Greek DM addresses SEDM in Kiev

In his address, Meimarakis proposed that members consider the progressive evolution of SEEBRIG into a regional force that will also handle crisis management operations in the wake of natural disasters.

Referring to Kosovo, he noted the need for KFOR's continued presence until the final status of the province was clarified through a mutually acceptable solution and conditions of security established.

"We consider self-evident the respect for territorial integrity, the inviolability of existing borders, the substantive protection of human and minority rights," he added.

The Greek minister also expressed satisfaction for Bosnia-Herzegovina's entry into SEEBRIG, hailed Ukraine's expression of intent to join the brigade as well and expressed hope that Serbia, Montenegro and Georgia would also soon join the regional force.

The member-states of SEEBRIG were briefed on NATO operations in the Balkans and Afghanistan and worldwide efforts to combat terrorism.
