Minister of Public Order Georgios Voulgarakis and Deputy Minister Christos Markogiannakis today visited the headquarters of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games Organizing Committee (ATHOC), where they had a working meeting with ATHOC President Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki. Also present were ATHOC Managing Director Ioannis Spanoudakis and Executive Director Marton Simitsek.

Afterwards, Voulgarakis made the following statement to reporters:

“We had a very good discussion with Mrs. Angelopoulou and with her colleagues; a very good collaboration, informative but also one dealing with substance. We put a great deal of issues in order; we discussed certain things that have been done; we set a deadline for the rest that must be done and we are very optimistic. I believe in terms of security, things are moving very fast and very well.”
