The first message of the Central Archaeological Council's (CAC) decision is that after five years of adventures, the issue is dealt again with seriousness, Attiko metro president Nikos Tahiaos said on Thursday in an interview with radio station Praktoreio 104.9 FM.

The Central Archaeological Council (CAS) approved by a majority the request of "Attiko Metro SA" to temporarily remove and reposition antiquities in 'Venizelos' station as part of the construction of the Thessaloniki metro.

Police arrested 29 suspects in a barrage of assaults that occurred shortly before midnight in central Thessaloniki shops. All the defendants were released after their examination, as nothing was found against them.
