H.E. Christos Panagopoulos, Ambassador of the Hellenic Republic |
Neighbourly Support
“I am confident that, as Serbia’s path towards the EU continues, at some point
in the near future Serbian citizens will no longer be under the obligation to
apply for Schengen visas.” Greece is both a Balkan country and an EU member.
Since the country became of full member of the then EC (now EU) back in 1981,
Greece has enjoyed consistent political stability and development, with economic
growth above the EU average since the mid-1990s. This month we speak to outgoing
Greek Ambassador to Serbia, H.E. Christos Panagopoulos, about Serbia’s own
progress towards the EU and other burning issues.

Life with Stasi
Some say that close to 91,000 people worked for the Stasi in 1989, and that the
secret service had over 100,000 so-called unofficial associates, most of who
worked in East Germany. After the two Germanies united in 1991, the Law on Stasi
Documentation was passed, which provided an opportunity for German citizens to
see with their own eyes the files that the secret service had kept on them.
