Jan 24th, 2008 by admin
The Greek cities of Volos and Larissa have won the right to host the 2013 Mediterranean games.
The CEO of Volos-Larissa Bidding Committe, Dionyssis Yagas on what the next step is:
To say the truth, its not something that concerns me, my job is over, The President and I have delivered and we are waiting to see who will be in the organizing committee, so I really do not know what the next step will be but I hope I will be given an opportunity to work in the organizing committee.
WHAT ABOUT THE COST OF THE GAMES, WE HAVE HEARD THAT 80% OF THE MONEY IS ALREADY BUDGETED, AND HOW MUCH IS GOING TO BE PAID BY THE TAXPAYER?
80% of the total installation is in place which means that the government will not have to spend a lot of money on installations. The total cost of organizing the games is going to be around 75-80 million Euros. We plan to have a special programme that will give us around 50 million. I guess we have pretty much done the basic work.
