The issue of Greek soldiers who fell on Albanian territory during the Italo-Greek war has been one of the most delicate topics in relations between the two countries over the years. Athens has continuously requested the identification and arrangement of the graves of its soldiers, while official Tirana has treated the issue within the framework of bilateral agreements and international standards.
The meeting between the two ministers comes at a time when Albania and Greece have intensified political contacts and cooperation within the framework of regional security and NATO structures.
