I wrote to you yesterday that there was frost between Belgrade and Athens, inversely proportional to the spring we are experiencing. Greece’s abstention (rather than a vote against) in voting on Kosovo’s request for admission to the Council of Europe prompted unfavorable comments from the Serbian foreign minister, the cancellation of the country’s prime minister’s presence at the planned event, but – as I know – also the cancellation of Serbian participation in military exercises. In particular, the Serbian special forces did not participate in the multinational exercise Orion-23 led by GEETHA and the Special Operations Command, which is being held simultaneously with the air force “Hinioh”. Although the Serbs declared their participation and, as usual, even took part in the preliminary meetings for planning the exercises.

Same place, half the world

At exactly the same place where Kyriakos Mitsotakis spoke about a week ago, Alexis Tsipras spoke the night before in Chania, making it easier to compare the two gatherings.

In order for this to happen, Dora, who has been in the prefecture for about 20 days, had a hand in rallying the “blue” public and awakening the “soul of the dandy”, as Konstantinos Mitsotakis called it.
