Hahn: Prespa Agreement, Possibility for Strengthening of Bilateral Relations

The Prespa Agreement is an “example of reconciliation and an opportunity to strengthen good neighbourly relations,” says EU Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn in his recent answer to a question raised by SYRIZA Eurogroup head and European Parliament Vice President Dimitris Papadimoulis, the Greek news agency ANA-MPA reports. “The Prespa Agreement is an example of reconciliation and an opportunity to strengthen good neighbourly relations, which further promotes political and economic cooperation. The Commission has launched a study on sustainable economic development in the greater region of the Prespa Lake, with particular emphasis on tourism. The countries are committed to jointly developing a strategic plan to implement a border-crossing near the Prespa Lake, co-funded by the cross-border cooperation program of the Instrument of Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) and a Greek regional programme,” Hahn said.
