Greece "still has no plans to recognize Kosovo," and the Greek deputy prime minister confirmed this, Albanian language media in Priština are reporting.
Transition in the making
Greece will never recognize the unilateral independence of Kosovo to Greece does not (at this time) have any plans to recognize Kosovo.
Why the hell should Greece recognize Kosovo? To encourage the about 500.000 Albanian immigrants (including the illegal ones) who fled the poverty in Albania to do the same and proclaim an own state on Greek soil?

Questioner,
You obviously are not current in your information. If you travel to Southern Albania, you will find many poor Greek immigrants working for Albanians. The only difference is that these unfortunate Greeks are not returned to Greece for entering Albania illegally and are treated much better than the Albanians that had gone to Greece for work several years ago. This is the difference between Albanians and Greeks as far as neighborly relations are concerned.
What Greece says and what it does are two complete different things. Not mentioning their total dependence to Germany. Greece practically recognized Kosovo. They just don't have the stomach to express the obvious.
Bravo for what Pete...?? What is Serbia gaining in real terms..?

It's more spiritual (feeling happy).... Obviously nothing in real terms. If Kosovo were to accept Serbia's offer of more-than-autonomy-but-less-than-independence, it won't be recognized by Greece anyway. So, Greece's recognition or lack thereof is immaterial for getting Kosovo back under Serbia.
Confusing because Serbia has and has appointed dejan pavicevic ambassador and supports Kosovo in eu and FIFA and has border guards and customs agents with Kosovo.

I know right. Not even the Serbian gov't support is enough to turn the rest of the world in your favor towards full recognition. Must show what the world really thinks about you! Imagine if the Serbian govt weren't made up of traitorous Titoists, you would probably have 1/3 of the recognitions you do now!
Do you remember during UNMIK era, all western countries and others had Liaison Offices in Kosova? Once Independence was declared, those office converted to Embassies. How soon you forgot???
(the truth, 20 February 2014 16:56)
I think the word "embassy" is a strange concept for you and especially Brian who keeps pushing the ridiculous idea that Serbia has recognized Kosovo. A liaison office serves a number of practical purposes that in no way recognize the sovereignty of the entity it is in. RS has a number of liaison offices around Europe as well. Can't remember when they declared their independence, and I certainly don't remember when anyone recognized it.
As much as Kosovo is gaining from the recognition of Lesotho. Precisely nothing in real terms. Kosovo is still, five years after unilaterally declaring independence and fifteen years after NATO occupation, a destitute territory riven with corruption. The recognition game hasn't altered anything on the ground.

Thaci, on the other hand, said that Kosovo would soon open an office in Athens "with the goal of cooperation with that country," the Koha Ditore daily is reporting.
So I guess Pristina has started to unilaterally recognize non-recognitions as recognitions? Slow down there guys :)
