Advancing peace and stability, together with boosting private investments in the Balkans, will be among the top issues on the agenda of talks between US President Bill Clinton and Premier Costas Simitis during the president's upcoming state visit to Athens, US ambassador to Greece Nicholas Burns said yesterday in Thessaloniki.
"One of the items of top priority to be discussed by President Clinton is how he can work together with Greek Premier Costas Simitis and the Greek government to advance stability, peace and private investments in the Balkans," the US envoy said.
