Thessaloniki mayor Yiannis Boutaris announced his intention on Friday to run for mayor of the northern Greek city for a third term at the next municipality elections.
“The current negotiation on the FYROM name issue is critical,” Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Friday after a meeting with Thessaloniki Mayor Yiannis Boutaris, adding that “the government is trying to take something back and not make concessions as previous governments have done.”
