  • [01] Greek-FYROM PMs' meeting Fri.

    Thursday's early afternoon meeting between Greek prime minister George Papandreou and FYROM premier Nikola Gruevski in Brussels has been postponed to Friday at the request of the Greek side due to Papandreou's heavy schedule with a meeting of the European Socialist Party (PES) followed immediately by the opening session of an EU summit.

    The Papandreou-Gruevski meeting, initially scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, will take place at 2:30 p.m. (Brussels time) on Friday.

    [02] 107 kilos cannabis found

    Police found and confiscated a quantity of 107 kilos of cannabis in a stolen car that was abandoned after crashing with a truck along the Trikala-Ioannina stretch of the national highway on Thursday.

    The car crashed with the truck in the Trikala-bound lane, and the car driver fled the scene.

    Police found three sacks in the car containing a total of 107.1 kilos of cannabis packaged in plastic bags.

    An investigation turned up that the car had been stolen from Halkida, Evia.

    [03] Man missing in torrent

    Rescuers were continuing on Thursday afternoon a search operation for a 45-year-old man who was swept away by torrential waters the previous night in Thermi, Thessaloniki.

    The man and his wife had rushed to the assistance of their 22-year-old son after he called them when his car stalled due to rising waters during heavy rainfall as he attempted to cross the torrent.

    All three were swept away, but rescuers were able to locate and rescue the mother and son. Indicative of the force of the torrent is the fact that the son was found by rescuers five kilometers from the spot where his car had stalled.

    The search by EMAK rescuers and volunteers was continuing for the father.

    Heavy rainfall and torrential local storms throughout Wednesday caused major problems and flooding of basements and ground floors throughout the country.
