Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has called on Libya to engage in negotiations with Greece regarding the delimitation of the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone.

In an interview with Greek broadcaster Skai, Mitsotakis stated that there are no issues concerning the sovereignty of Greece’s islands, and stressed that Libya must make a choice, claiming that “Turkey is clearly manipulating it.”

On the issue of migration, Mitsotakis reaffirmed that Greece will not tolerate mass illegal migration and will do everything within the framework of international law to prevent it.

He added that Greece is sending a clear message to smugglers: reaching Greek territory will not guarantee easy entry.
