This is the last day of my mission in Romania. Tonight I will fly to Athens. My future diplomatic mission will be in Sofia, Bulgaria. I am glad because on my last day in Romania I was received by His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel who received me lots of times during my three years and a half mission as Greek Ambassador in Bucharest. I do thank the Romanian people with whom I had a very good collaboration. I wish to thank especially the Romanian Orthodox Church which supported and helped me during my mandate in Romania, the Ambassador of Greece also said.
