The duties of the two vice-presidents are due to be announced before July 7, when ND is slated to unveil its positions for the country's exodus from the crisis and its disengagement from the EU-IMF Memorandum. According to sources, however, Avramopoulos, a career diplomat, will assume the portfolios of foreign and defence policy, ND's international relations, and public administration and security, while Dimas, a former EU Commissioner, will take on the portfolios of the economy and development, as well as the environment, energy and transports.
