[01] Gov't focuses on hooliganism issue

Other participants included representatives of the Greek Football Federation (EPO), the pro football and basketball leagues, lesser leagues and other sports federations.

Meanwhile, another 16 defendants are scheduled to appear before a magistrate in Athens on Tuesday, following last week's hooligan violence in an eastern Attica township (Peania), best described as a "rumble", that left one man dead and several others injured.

[02] Aristotle Univ. top Greek Erasmus participant

Thessaloniki's Aristotle University was first amongst Greece's higher education institutions during the 2004-05 academic year in terms of the number of students attending the popular Erasmus student exchange programme.

Five-hundred and eighty students from the university have participated in the programme, while the school has received 475 students from other European institutions.

Amongst Europe's higher education institutions, Aristotle University placed third in terms of preference by visiting professors, while it occupied fourth place in terms of the number of professors taking teaching spots in other European universities.

Due to its popularity, the Greek university will be included in a special Erasmus publication to be distributed at the EU conference on Lifelong Learning in Berlin on May 7.
