Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis met today at the Maximos Mansion with Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.

In fact, the Albanian Prime Minister appeared somewhat uncomfortable due to his attire, telling Mr. Mitsotakis that he had not expected such a “formal” reception at the Maximos Mansion. He also added that he “hopes” Greek media will not interpret his casual dress in a “different” way, but rather as “a lack of proper information from my protocol.”

Specifically, Edi Rama said in front of the cameras:
“It is an honour to be here, and I apologize for not being dressed as formally as you, because I did not expect such a reception. I therefore hope that the Greek media will not interpret it differently, but only as a lack of proper briefing from my protocol.”

In response, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said:
“We recognize that you are always very inventive when it comes to the way you dress, and we like that.”
