Mallias’ Book Goes Deep Inside Greek Diplomacy

Special to The National Herald 

Alexandros Mallias is in a better position than almost anyone to understand the many tightropes that Greek diplomats have had to walk in dealing with tension and crises in foreign affairs, particularly in the Balkans, and he notes them in his book published by Infognomon, entitled The Other Crisis: An Ambassador’s Account Following a 35-year career with the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during which he served his country with distinction and dedication, he was awarded the title Ambassador of Greece. He gained an unprecedented experience on Balkan issues from his service in several posts in the Ministry as well as Greece’s diplomatic missions in several Balkan countries, FYROM, Albania, Croatia and Bulgaria and unique experience from his tenure in the US as the Greek Ambassador in Washington D.C. from 2005-2009.
