“After Greece’s S300 harassment in the Aegean, how does Turkey take a step towards the radar lock event? We continue to hold talks with both the NATO secretary and NATO representatives. Our sensitivity to this issue continues with determination. Greece is aware of this as well. They seem to have tidied up on this issue as well. In the next process, Greece will act by considering what kind of relationship it will have with Turkey. Otherwise,” he said. I say it again, we can come suddenly one night,” President of Turkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, spoke before the Balkan tour, APA reports citing Anadolu Agency.

“We also witness that the balanced stance of our country is appreciated by all peoples in this geography. The main agenda of my visit will be efforts to address the political crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina that has been going on for a year. I will emphasize my support for the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Serbia is an important partner with whom we work in maintaining peace and stability in the Balkans. After our contacts in Serbia, we will go to Zagreb. I will exchange ideas with our Croatian interlocutors on regional developments, especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Mitrovica is a predominantly Serb region. There have always been undesirable troubles from the past to the present. Our dear friend, who is one of the three presidents, has always had a very positive attitude towards us in our previous meetings with them. We will also discuss this issue with Vucic during this visit. We hope that we can overcome the problems there with Vucic’s weight.

Our Ministry of Defense continues to discuss this issue with both the NATO Secretariat General and other representatives. Our sensitivities continue at the point of locking. Greece is aware. They are in the way of tidying up. In the speeches made by myself in the last week, my explanations regarding the situation will also make the decision of what kind of relationship with Greece and Turkey in the next period by thinking better. I always say we can leave suddenly one night.

We do not have any problems with natural gas. Europe reaps what it sows. Europe’s attitude and sanctions against Mr. Putin inevitably brought Putin to the point of ‘If you are doing this, I will do it like this’. I think that Europe will spend this winter with serious problems, we do not have such a problem.”
