Mr. Avgenakis reiterated that the Agios Kosmas EAKN is not abolished, which will continue to operate, and everything is running, in full consultation and unanimity with all those involved, according to the smooth relocation plan to other Olympic facilities, which are utilized under the program which was presented together with the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, but also with absolute adherence to the agreed timetables, until the new sports infrastructures at Hellinikon Park are completed.
