[01] Leftist leader in Skopje on Wed.
Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) leader Alekos Alavanos will depart for
Skopje on Wednesday to meet top officials of the Former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), noting that he will meet with the
country's president and prime minister.
"We believe that neither of the two neighbors should become entrapped
in extremist and nationalistic situations, no matter how difficult the
problem may be," the veteran leftist leader said in Athens on Monday.
"Conversely, we can meet in the middle of the bridge, and that is why I
believe that political dialogue over the current difficult political
conditions is always useful," Alavanos said.
Meanwhile, in an unrelated issue, the SYRIZA leader called for the
outright banning of private educational institutes in the country that
cooperate with European universities, saying such a regime is in
conflict with Article 16 of the Greek constitution - the controversial
provision that allows only the state to establish and operate higher
education institutions in the country.
