At 12:00, Juncker will address the plenary of the Hellenic Parliament, while during his visit to Athens he will also meet the leader of the opposition, New Democracy President Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Bertaud said.
Asked whether the visit was linked to debt relief talks for Greece, Bertaud noted only that technical talks were ongoing and that "nothing will be off the table" in President Juncker's meetings with the Greek leadership, where they will have a chance to "discuss any and all topics."
