New cemeteries, where necessary, are to be built in the near future.
The agreement was reached by Minister of Interior Takis Theodorikakos and the Archbishop of Athens at a meeting at the Petraki Monastery.
The planning will proceed in consultation with the Greek Central Association of Local Authorities and a new meeting will be held in the near future. The municipalities will cooperate with the local metropolises and for other issues related to the operation and cleaning of the cemeteries.
