The new president of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker is scheduled to visit Athens on Friday, where he will meet and have a work lunch with Prime Minister Antonis Samaras.

While Mr. Juncker’s visit to Greece is not official, his presence in Athens is important and coincides with the new troika review of the Greek program.

The Government Vice President and Minister of Foreign Affairs Evangelos Venizelos will also be joining the Prime Minister and EC President at the meal at the Benaki Museum.
