The head of Yanis Varoufakis, former Greek finance minister, spoke positively about Kosovo on the "Debat Plus" show, emphasizing that its image in Greece has changed significantly in recent years.
"Kosovo's image in Greece has improved dramatically over the last two or three years."
According to him, this change was also influenced by the position that Kosovo has held in relation to the clashes that Greece has had with North Macedonia.
"This clash has set us back for decades, it has set Macedonians and the region back, so for me what is important is that we move away from meaningless conflicts," he added.
Varoufakis stressed that nationalism remains one of the main reasons why Greece has not yet recognized the state of Kosovo.
He stated that there is a belief in Greece that if Kosovo is recognized, then Northern Cyprus, which is recognized as a state only by Turkey, is also "legitimized".
However, according to him, this approach is wrong and belongs to the past.
He also added that in Kosovo, in general, since 2005, there have been positive developments in financial policies.
