A few comments: This is from June 1994, Albania at the time was just escaping communism, and Albanians were leaving the country in mass. The region was full of challenges. The Greek Reporter that I do follow, has good stuff, and lots of nationalistic material, they love to inflame the flames, to get traffic to their site. I share their quality stuff on our FB page once in a while, but get disappointed when they post crap. Albania like many of the Balkan countries has not treated their minorities in the best way, they are insecure as a nation, but if they want to join the EU, they need to mature.

I know Eyo was old, not sure how old, hope all is OK!

Hey old friend, you are missing in action, this place has been quite for the last 2-3 years, so I understand if you are taking a long break, just say hi, so we know you are OK old man

too funny! Obviously Palikari is not a Greek music fan, lol

Hi

exactly, the other big stupid thing is who is in power and doing this, the message it is sending to the world is horrendous

Seriously, I get compassion, I get forgiving someone, but this guy and his organization killed, and did great harm to the Greek state. He deserves his multiple life sentences and I have no idea why there is a need to give him a vacation from jail, especially when he is at a pretty nice one at the moment. This shit pisses me off!

Yes very sad! Hope you still enjoy your trip. Hope that Greece learns and institutes better safety measures, read several articles about how they lack emergency planning, big reason why people got trapped at different spots and did not know where to escape. Fire trucks getting stuck in traffic on highways, while tollways still collecting tolls and slowing down cars from driving away from the fires,...

Winds of 75 mph ‘Partly to Blame’ for Greek Devastation http://greece.greekreporter.com/2018/07/25/winds-of-75-mph-partly-to-blame-for-greek-devastation/

Fire in Greece kills at least 80, many missing http://www.ekathimerini.com/231094/article/ekathimerini/news/fire-in-greece-kills-at-least-80-many-missing

How I felt about Greek politics for a long time, most parties have something to offer, some are better then others. And Greek opposition parties are against everything the party in power stands for, UNTIL they come into power, lol
