Balkan countries

The current developments in southeast Europe top the agenda at the National Council on Foreign Policy on Wednesday after the current visit of Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias to the Western Balkan countries.

The only way to build a future in the Western Balkans is to ensure stability in peace once and for all, Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic has said.

He made the comments during his meeting with Montenegrin counterpart Filip Vujanovic on Tuesday.

Turkish companies are planning to invest in struggling neighbor Greece in the agricultural, manufacturing, tourism, construction and transportation sectors, as part of a joint program between the two countries. 

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said that at this point, his greatest fear is of regional instability and political conflicts.

1,000 plainclothes and uniformed police will be tasked with providing security for the members of Bosnia's Presidency when they arrive here on Wednesday.

This is according to a report in the Belgrade-based daily Blic.

A Paris-based arbitration court has decided on the behalf of Turkey's gas grid Bota? in a case against Greece's state-run energy company DEPA, said Turkish Energy Minister Taner Y?ld?z. 

"We opened an arbitration case, which was between Bota? and DEPA, in Paris four years ago. The court has made its decision on the behalf of Turkey," Y?ld?z said. 

Members of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina are welcome to Serbia and will be perfectly safe, Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic has said.

All three members of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina have confirmed they will visit Belgrade, Serbian state broadcaster RTS is reporting.

According to RTS, the visit will most likely take place mid-next week.

Relations between Serbia and Montenegro are "at the best level since their establishment in the 19th century," says Montenegrin Ambassador Branislav Micunovic.

He made the statement during a reception in Belgrade on Monday, held on the occasion of Montenegro's Statehood Day.

The Council of Ministers of Bosnia has authorized the Ministry of Security to investigate all the circumstances that led to the attack on Aleksandar Vucic.
