A conference of the Foreign ministers of the 28 EU member states and the countries of the Western Balkans will be held in Thessaloniki on Thursday, 8 May 2014.
The conference will be chaired by Government Vice President and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos, at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall.

Eleven years after the 2003 Thessaloniki/Chalkidiki summit meeting – which was the culmination of the previous Greek presidency, and at which the Thessaloniki Agenda for the countries of the Western Balkans was set down – the Ministerial Conference comes to link these two Greek presidencies.

On the margins of the Conference, on Thursday, 8 May, Venizelos will hold bilateral meetings with his counterparts from the countries of the Western Balkans.
