SERBIAN-GREEK RELATIONSHIP
As insipired from the recently alliance between Greece and Serbia I write this article to prove that Greece have too many things in commonwith Serbians and the crucial role of Greece in some situations..!

Let's get started!
No.1 Serbs and Greeks are followers of the Eastern Orthodox Church (Serbian, Greek Orthodoxy) and were bound by alliance treaties and co-belligerence in wars since the Middle Ages. Friendly relations have played an important role in bilateral relations between the two nations, especially in the modern history: during the revolutions against the Ottoman Empire, the Balkan War, the World War 1,World War II and during the Yugoslav Wars.
No.2 In the First Balkan War of 1912–1913, Greece, Serbia, Montenegro and Bulgaria (Balkan League) defeated the Ottoman Empire and divided the geographical area of Macedonia between themselves. During this war, the original plans of the alliance were changed by pressure from the European Powers: much land originally allocated to Greece went to Bulgaria; the Greek armies campaigned further west than originally planned, and annexed land allocated to Serbia.
In June 1913 Serbia and Greece signed a defensive pact opposing to Bulgaria's expansionist goals. Eventually on 16 June of the same year Bulgaria attacked both countries. Being decisively defeated by Greeks in the Battle of Kilkis-Lahanas and by Serbs in Bregalnica Bulgaria retreated into defensive positions until Romania entered the war by attacking Bulgaria and threatening Sofia resulting in the latter's defeat. Greece and Serbia found themselves being the winner parties by having successfully fought the war side by side.
No.3 Greece is the top investor in Serbian economy and during the NATO bombing of FR Yugoslavia, Greece was the only NATO member to condemn the actions and openly expressed its disapproval; polls revealed that 94% of the Greek population were completely opposed to the bombing.[3] Also, Greece is one of the five European Union's member states that have refused to recognize the Kosovo Unilateral Declaration of Independence, backing the Serbian stance on this issue. As a strong supporter of the EU Candidate of Serbia, Greece has proposed the "Agenda 2014" for boosting the integration of all the Western Balkan states into the Union.



Greeks in Serbia
Main article: Greeks in Serbia
The Greek Foreign Ministry asserts that marriages between Serbs and Greeks living in Serbia are quite common, and that this is both a cause and result of the close bonds shared by many Greeks and Serbs.
In February 2008, the Greek minority living in Serbia turned to Greece to not recognize the unilateral secession in Kosovo by the Kosovo Albanians. They stated that the independence of Kosovo would endanger the stability in the Balkans and weaken the traditional Serbian-Greek relations


Serbs in Greece
Main article: Serbs in Greece
More than 15,000 Serbs live in Greece.
An estimated 350,000 Serbian citizens visited Greece in 2008. 432,000 Serbians visited in 2009.Many Serbs visit Greece because of the important Serbian heritage found in the country. Some of the cultural and religious sites especially important to Serbs include Hilandar Monastery in Mount Athos,Zeytinlik Cemetery in Thessaloniki, and the island of Corfu.

Stay close..

We have too many common things and nowadays our relationships seems too cold to be true....Keep this friendship high....
