Athens, however, is concerned about "the participation of representatives of Asian countries affected by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)", Greek Culture Minister Evangelos Venizelos said Monday, after a meeting of top Olympics organisers and government officials, chaired by Prime Minister Costas Simitis.
Atina je, međutim, zabrinuta zbog "učešća takmičara iz azijskih zemalja, pogođenih teškim akutnim respiratornim sindromom (SARS)", rekao je u ponedeljak grčki ministar kulture Evangelos Venicelos, posle sastanka najviših predstavnika organizatora igara i vladinih zvaničnika, kojim je predsedavao premijer Kostas Simitis.
