The President of the European Council Donald Tusk will be received by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras at 10am in Athens on Thursday, in order to discuss the refugee crisis.

Following the recent dramatic developments, PM Tsipras will ask for assurances that there will be no unilateral actions (such as closed borders), that there will be no exclusions from meetings on the refugee crisis and that the relocation process of refugees in Greece is pushed forward.

The meeting is scheduled ahead of the critical European summit meeting on Monday, the 7th of March, with Mr. Tusk also scheduled to visit Vienna, Ljubljana, Zagreb and Skopje. On Friday Mr. Tusk will visit Turkey, for talks with PM Ahmed Davutoglu and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
