Ne një kohe kur Greqia dhe Shqipëria prej disa kohesh jane përfshire ne debatin per çështjen e kufirit detar, pala greke ka vijuar me planet e saj, duke i hapur rruge zyrtarisht kërkimeve per nafte dhe gaz natyror ne ujerat e detit Jon dhe Krete. Me daten 6 shtator, Ministria greke e energjetikes, shpalli zyrtarisht edhe kompaninë fituese. Nga 8 kompani qe garonin u përzgjodh ajo norvegjeze "Petroleum GeoServices" e cila do te nise menjëherë kërkimet ne 2 zonat e përcaktuara, deri ne korrik te 2013-es. Ndërkaq sipas njoftimit te ministrisë se energjetikes, ne 2014-en, do te kete nje tjetër tender per eksplorimet e reja ne kete fushe. Sipas hartes se krijuar nga vete qeveria greke, ne zonat ku do te kryhen kërkimet, përfshihet edhe ishulli i Korfuzit. Por çështja e kufijve detare mbeti e pazgjidhur,pasi Gjykata Kushtetuese shqiptare hodhi poshtë marrëveshjen e arritur, duke e cilësuar atë si anti-kushtetuese. Vete Ministri i Jashtëm Edmond Panariti deklaroi disa dite me pare se ne lidhje me paktin detar me Greqinë, nuk ka asnjë negociate dhe se cdo vendim ne lidhje me këtë çështje do te merret ne respekt te vendimit te Gjykatës Kushtetuese.
