Kyriakos

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told protesting Greek farmers that his government wants to "find solutions" to their long-standing problems but needs to consider the country's fiscal constraints. 

Some 360 Greek and Serbian business owners participated in a Serbian-Greek business forum held during the Greek prime minister's visit to Serbia on Monday.

Serbia's Chamber of Commerce and Industry said that the total included 76 Greek business owners who were active in the sectors of energy, construction, manufacturing, real estate, and banking.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will meet separately with two representative groups of farmers at the Maximos Mansion on Tuesday to discuss the ongoing mobilizations and proposed relief measures.

At noon, he will meet with representatives of the Panhellenic Committee of farmers at blockades.

As part of a two-day visit to Serbia, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Monday expressed his desire to strengthen economic cooperation between Athens and Belgrade on all sectors.

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Monday Greek companies were welcome in Serbia, and called on Greek financial institutions, banks in particular, to renew their interest in the Serbian market.

“We will stand by you in this effort”, said Kyriakos Mitsotakis

Farmers continue their mobilizations ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, as state-run broadcaster ERT reported on Sunday. The government reiterated its support measures for farmers and expressed openness to productive dialogue without tensions, despite indicating that fiscal margins for benefits are running out.

The government is about to increase the threshold for the Golden Visa program to 800,000 euros in some cases, while maintaining the lower limit of €250,000 euros in areas of less interest and activating financial tools for the utilization of vacant properties.

Farmers gathered at the Sindos Conference Centre, in preparation for their upcoming meeting with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis scheduled for next Tuesday 

Greece is considering plans to substantially increase the threshold for real estate investment to qualify for a five-year residence permit, a widely known program called the Golden Visa, its prime minister said on Friday. The move would be part of measures to mitigate demand and alleviate the rising prices of property sales and rentals in the local market.
