Development Minister Folias's remarks to Reuters came just days after US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza told reporters in Athens last week that he and Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis had "talked about how important it is to put in place diversification options before deepening dependence in one direction, on a single company that's already such a major supplier ".
Izjava ministra razvoja Folijasa Rojtersu dolazi samo nekoliko dana nakon što je zamenik pomoćnika američkog državnog sekretara Metju Briza rekao novinarima prošle nedelje u Atini da su on i grčka ministarka inostranih poslova Dora Bakojani "razgovarali o tome koliko je važno postaviti opcije diverzifikacije pre produbljivanja zavisnosti u jednom smeru, ka jednoj kompaniji koja je već tako veliki snabdevač".
