[01] President Papoulias to meet with Balkan counterparts on sidelines
of cultural corridors forum in Varna
Greece's President of the Republic Karolos Papoulias will hold sideline
meetings with leaders of the Balkan countries in Varna, where he
arrived on Thursday to attend the regional forum of "cultural
corridors" taking place in the Bulgarian city.
Papoulias is slated to meet with Turkish president Ahmet Sezer,
Croatian president Stipe Mesic, Montenegro president Filip Vujanovic,
and UNESCO general director Ko?chiro Matsuura on the sidelines of the
forum.
The cultural corridors is a system of cultural values which includes,
sites, monuments, historical installations, natural resources but also
relations, communication and historic roads, which reflect common
historic, social, cultural and other characteristics.
The cultural corridors in Southeast Europe aim at showing the region's
cultural heritage to the rest of Europe and the world and the meeting
in Varna is within the framework of the dialogue of cultures and the
strengtheing of regional cooperation, two sectors to which UNESCO gives
importance.
