Athens News Agency
Athens, 25 October 1996

Bosnian Serb President Biljana Plavsic is to visit Thessaloniki on Sunday at the invitation of the Municipality of Kalamaria, an ANA dispatch from Belgrade reported yesterday. Mr. Plavsic will be in Thessaloniki for three days and is scheduled to attend events commemorating 'Ohi Day' on October 28.

Ohi (No) Day commemorates the day Greece was dragged into World War II after the then prime minister, Ioannis Metaxas, rejected an Italian ultimatum to surrender or be invaded.

Mr. Plavsic will be the first Bosnian Serb official to visit Greece since the Bosnian elections in September.
