[01] Development minister meets with EBRD president over Balkan funding

Their discussion included the natural gas Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), the Gas Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) pipeline, and funding of Greek companies active in the Balkans.

EBRD is examining an extensive programme of investments in structural projects for the transport and storage of natural gas and the completion of the electric power market in the western Balkans.

Greece finds the boosting shots of EBRD funding to Greek businesses in the Balkans of major help, Hatzidakis said, especially during the crisis.

[02] Northern Greek ski resorts open, snow at low levels

Three ski lifts are in operation at Vassilitsa (which has 70cm of snow), in the Grevena area, while in Pisoderi, near Florina, which has only 40cm of snow, the only lift in operation is the babylift.

The snow quality in 3-5 Pigadia near Naoussa is excellent due to the artificial snow system. A total of 23 snow production 'cannons' are producing snow, providing excellent conditions for skiing.

At the Elatochori skiing centre, in the Pieria area, only an airlift is in operation, allowing visitors to tour the resort.
