The goal of the visit, according to the ministry, is to commence joint initiatives, as foreseen in the Prespa agreement, as well as in the wider western Balkans region.
Pappas will also participate in a European Commission-Western Balkans synod, with the Commission's digital agenda for the region as the focus.
