    • [01] Thessaloniki mayor: Two projects imperative for 2016 Expo bid

    The mayor of Thessaloniki told the municipality's council members on Wednesday that the northern port city will be ready to challenge for the 2016 World Expo after 2012, stressing that two ambitious but long-delayed urban transport projects -- a metro network and a traffic tunnel beneath the city's seafront -- must first be completed.

    Mayor Vassilis Papageorgopoulos, speaking months before he is widely expected to stand for re-election, also cited various measures to improve traffic and parking conditions in the congested northern city.

    The city had unsuccessfully vied for the 2008 World Expo, which was eventually awarded to the Spanish city of Zaragoza.

    In another development, a majority of council members approved of Thessaloniki's new flag, which will feature a likeness of Alexander the Great.
