Prime Minister Cannot Attend EU Summit


Newly elected Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is apparently not going to attend this Thursday's EU summit in Brussels, as physicians advised the Greek leader not to travel for a few days after his serious eye operation.

The country will be represented by Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos, who will head up the Greek delegation, as well as outgoing Finance Minister George Zannis and at least two other recently sworn-in ministers.

A medical bulletin issued at the west Athens hospital where Samaras successfully underwent an operation to reattach the partially detached retina in his left eye, emphasised that the medical team judged that the Greek premier should avoid travel in the coming week, while recommending a week of rest.
