Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras arrived at the government building where he was welcomed by SDS leader Zoran Zaev. 

Zaev seized the moment to take a selfie.

Tsipras and the delegation accompanying him arrived at the Skopje airport with a government plane at around 09:40 h. They were welcomed by Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Radmila Sekerinska, after which they headed to the government’s building.

Zaev and Alexis Tsipras will hold a bilateral meeting, and afterwards they will hold a joint press conference. An intergovernmental meeting will also be held.

Tsipras is also scheduled to meet with Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi.

During the welcoming ceremony, Zaev’s team refused to play the Macedonian national anthem because it contains the word Macedonia in it.
