The refugee and migration issue, Brexit and eurozone reform will be on the agenda of the European Council and Euro Summit meetings taking place on Thursday and Friday in Brussels.
The migration issue is one that Europe will have to deal with for many years to come, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in statements after an informal EU leaders’ mini-summit on asylum and migration held in Brussels on Sunday.
President of the Republic Prokopios Pavlopoulos on Tuesday met with the President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Michele Nicoletti.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Wednesday at Davos that the migration problem is a European and international problem and not a problem of Italy and Greece alone.
European Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos said on Tuesday the proposals of European Council President Donald Tusk on migration, included in a letter issued for the EU leaders’ summit later this week are “unacceptable” and “anti-European”.
