Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is set to meet Fredi Beleri, an Albanian politician from the ethnic Greek minority who was recently elected to the European Parliament. The meeting is scheduled to take place at the Maximos Mansion at 1 p.m., according to sources.

Beleri, who holds both Greek and Albanian citizenship, has been granted a temporary leave by Albanian authorities to attend the opening session of the EU Parliament in Strasbourg. He is required to return to serve the remainder of his prison sentence following the five-day leave.

Beleri, elected mayor of Himare in Albania, was arrested before being sworn into office as mayor due to allegations of vote-buying. Despite his denial of the charges, he was sentenced to two years in prison. This meeting between Mitsotakis and Beleri holds significance in the context of Greek-Albanian relations.
