Hugs & selfies: Zaev welcomes Tsipras in Skopje

Prime Minister of North Macedonia Zoran Zaev welcomed Tsipras as he got out of his car. The two prime ministers then proceeded to hug, kiss, and take selfies.

After the hugs, Tsipras first said hello to the many journalists who gathered for the event, and only then to members of the government who lined up to greet him, while Zaev pulled out his phone and took several selfies with his Greek counterpart.

The two prime ministers and the Greek ministers who traveled with Tsipras then went inside the North Macedonia government building, for bilateral meetings and a joint session of the two cabinets.

While in Skopje, Tsipras is also planned to meet with the president of the Assembly of North Northern Macedonia, Talat Xhaferi, and open a business forum together with Zaev.
