Main opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) leader and

Papandreou delivered an address on the Balkans during a dinner held in

Socialist Party (ESP).
According to a PASOK press release, Papandreou said in statements
afterwards:"All the socialist leaders of the Balkans are here in Sofia.
It is our first meeting following the recent referendum in Montenegro
and we all declare our dedication to the goal of the Balkans' European
course, for us to create a Balkan peninsula of peace, respect of human
rights and growth. A Balkan peninsula in which we will invest in the
individual, in the citizen."
"PASOK and myself personally, and on behalf of Socialist International
but also as leader of PASOK, we are preparing initiatives and working
systematically for this prospect. The prospect of the accession of the
Balkan countries in a common family of values," Papandreou added.
