After the deal

The Greek-Italian accord signed on Tuesday that defines the two countries' maritime boundaries and draws a line between their exclusive economic zones is a perfect illustration of the significant benefits that can be reaped as a result of active, discreet and methodical diplomatic efforts.

Restoring the integrity of Greece's key institutions should be top priority after what the country went through in the past four years at the hands of the previous, leftist administration.

The new conservative government will have to show determination in this task, but it will have to combine this with a good measure of wisdom and moderation.
