“Greece has made remarkable progress,” Mr. Berestecki stated, emphasizing the country’s achievements in meeting 28 key milestones and 4 major targets required for this latest tranche of funding.
He noted that the financial support will play a crucial role in enhancing Greece’s infrastructure and public services.
The spokesperson commended ongoing reforms, including upgrades to the national electricity grid and the streamlining of administrative processes through expanded digital services, describing them as “just some of the improvements” Greece has delivered.
