Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said after talks with Estonian Prime Minister Kaya Kallas, which took place in Tallinn, that he did not regret the imposition of sanctions against Russia, despite the fact that they hit the Greek tourism industry with a boomerang.
“To Greece… the fact that we joined the European Union in all sanctions packages really had an impact,” the prime minister said.
He admitted that in the summer of 2022, tourists from Russia did not come to Greece because “almost all Russians went to Turkey,” while in previous years the tourist flow was up to 800 vacationers.
“We paid the price by faithfully implementing the sanctions package. I am convinced that we did the right thing,” Mitsotakis summed up.
