"Hope for progress at Rice meeting
The state of relations between Greece and the USA is likely to become clearer late tonight after Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis meets with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Washington.
In her most high-profile diplomatic meeting since being appointed foreign minister in last month’s Cabinet reshuffle, Bakoyannis will have a number of issues to raise.
Cooperation between the US and Greece in the Balkans is one subject that both sides will want to address, especially with the future of Kosovo still unclear. Twelve months ago, the US secretary of state said that Greece was the White House’s closest ally in the region."
