BILATERAL RELATIONS BETWEEN GREECE AND OTHER COUNTRIES

IN AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL SECTOR

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES - MEMBERS OF THE EU

9. SLOVENIA

During the formal visit of the Greek Prime Minister in Slovenia, an Agreement for bilateral co-operation in the sector of agriculture was signed (November of 2001).

This Agreement reflects the overall policy of Greece to support co-operation with the Balkan countries, being in transition, facing institutional weaknesses and in need of scientific training.

It is worth mentioning that Slovenia considers itself a Central-Mediterranean European country and not a Balkan one. Even so, trying to avoid isolation from its neighbour Balkan countries, it participates to relevant Organisations as an observer.

Slovenia is a member of the International Council of Olive-oil and attains a very active attitude towards the development of olive-cultivation through new plantations.
