Thessaloniki. Serbia is prepared to mediate in the settlement of open issues between Greece and Macedonia, said President Tomislav Nikolic in Thessaloniki on Saturday, Tanjug reports, Macedonian MIA news agency reported.
Summing up the visit to Greece and talks with the country's top officials, Nikolic told a press conference that if such initiative was launched, Belgrade could mediate between Athens and Skopje.
"You can imagine what it would look like if we all cooperated. This would be a supporting pillar of the Balkans, maybe of whole Europe", said Nikolic.
He assessed Serbia-Greece cooperation as excellent, without any open issues, adding that Greece unconditionally supported Serbia on the EU path.
"It is obvious that Serbia could be the bridge between the east and the west, the north and south. We have reconfirmed what Serbs and Greeks have always nurtured complete understanding and cooperation, relations which have not been disrupted by anything", stressed Nikolic.
During a recent visit to Macedonia, the Serbian President voiced readiness to mediate in settlement of problems between the Serbian and Macedonian Orthodox churches.
