During his press conference with Zoran Zaev, Alexis Tsipras announced that the Greek air force will assume the role of patrolling the Macedonian airspace.

We want a neighbor which is stable politically, but also in the area of security. Greece has top skills and knowledge in the field of aviation. We have the ability to support North Macedonia, said Tsipras.

During the press conference, Tsipras described how his official pilot would try to avoid the Macedonian air space during his travels, and said that “this stupidity will end today”.
