The refugee issue is the biggest challenge for Europe and each partner is being tested every day on whether it deserves to be an integral part of the whole European structure, Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos said during his address to a conference of the National Commission Against Racism and Intolerance.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Monday chairs a meeting with government members and close associates on the refugee issue at Parliament.

The President of the Hellenic Republic Prokopis Pavlopoulos will chair a special meeting with the leaders of the Greek political parties on Friday at 12:00 at the presidential mansion.
