Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos had a meeting on Wednesday with former Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato at the presidential mansion.
Pavlopoulos referred to Amato's substantial role in Greece's effort to remain in the European Union.
He also called Amato to mutually confront the major issue of refugees and migrants regarding the initiatives that Europe should undertake.
The president noted that the root of the evil is the war in Syria adding that neither Europe nor the great powers of this world should remain impassive before this evil and reiterated his position for an extraordinary Summit on the migrants’ issue.
On his part, Amato expressed his optimism over the confrontation of the crisis and the promotion of the value of solidarity among the EU country members on the migrants’ issue.
He also said that the solidarity on the migration issue may find a way to reach the eurozone and to create a bridge of confidence between the EU countries of the north and the south and to make a better Europe.
