[01] Karamanlis, FM at EU summit on Caucasus crisis
Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis will be in Brussels on Monday to
participate in the European Union's specially called summit on the
Caucasus crisis and possible repercussions vis-à-vis Moscow's relations with the international community.
Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis will also be participating in the
summit.
Foreign ministry spokesman George Koumoutsakos said that what is of
interest to Greece is respect for the territorial integrity and the
independence of countries and, in this framework, Athens did not
recognise Kosovo, or the regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
The Caucasus crisis will be discussed at the national foreign policy
council at the foreign ministry on Thursday, under Bakoyannis'
chairmanship.
