A meeting between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Thessaly farmers will most likely be held on March 11 and probably in Thessaly, government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis said on Monday, in an interview with the state broadcaster ERT.

Main opposition SYRIZA took the spotlight on Greek media over the weekend with its congress, in which an overt effort was made, with a last minute intervention by former party leader and former Pm Alexis Tsipras to overthrow current president Stefanos Kaselakis.

The armaments programmes, armed forces' salaries and the modernisation of the infrastructure dominated a meeting on Monday between the national defence ministry's civilian and military leadership and main opposition SYRIZA-PA President Stefanos Kasselakis, who was accompanied on his visit by retired Admiral Evangelos Apostolakis, a former defence minister and armed forces' chief.
