Intensive preparations are underway to host the top basketball event at Athens, with Michalis Chrysochoidis personally overseeing security measures.
Speaking on SKAI television, Minister Protection of Citizens underlined the importance for the country’s international reputation of the successful holding of the Final Four, drawing a parallel with the impeccable organization of the Conference League final.
The minister noted that “we are working systematically and hard, but I won’t hide from you that there is a lot of stress,” and described the whole project as a particularly difficult challenge.
Mr. Chrysochoidis, expressing his desire for Panath-to-node=”3″ data-index-in-node=”68″>Panathinaikos to qualify as well, stressed that the strict observance of law and order remains a priority throughout the three-day period of May 22-24.
He also announced that he himself will conduct an autopsy at the OAKA (T-Center) premises in the coming days to ensure the accurate implementation of the business plan.
The ministry’s goal is “Greece, once again, has an excellent image to the outside world“, seeking a competitive tournament that will go off without a hitch, despite the objective difficulties of managing such a massive sporting event.
