Abstract

Inter-balkanic cooperation began before World War II. However, it did not become a practical reality until the 1976 Athens conference, which brought together representatives from Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Romania. Albania joined them in 1984.

The fall of the communist regimes of Central Europe put an end to the privileged ties which Greece developed with most of its neighbors. Hence, for a few years now, Athens has tense relations with Skopje and Tirana. But Greece, due to its European Union membership and to the dynamism of its exports in the Balkan peninsula, could well play the role of a regional power and constitute a pole of stability in this agitated part of Europe.
