Greek Defence Minister Akis Tsohatzopoulos is expected to travel to Tirana, 
Albania on Monday to attend a departure ceremony in honour of a Hellenic 
Army contingent stationed in that country over the past two years.
The contingent, part of a one-time larger multinational presence, was sent 
to Albania in the aftermath of severe political and economic turmoil in that 
country following the collapse of several pyramid schemes.
According to reports, the 200 Greek troops will depart Albania on Aug 1, 
whereas some 90 military specialists will remain in order to continue 
various training missions.
