The Regional Governor of Epirus, Mr. Alexandros Kahrimanis, had a meeting with the President of the Hellenic Mountaineering and Climbing Federation, Mr. Nikos Kondo.

The President of the Hellenic Mountaineering Federation, in recognition of the Regional Governor’s contribution and assistance so far in this effort, presented him with a commemorative plaque.
