Saloniki, one of the cities of Greece will host the World Championship of the veterans of Samba. The Georgian National team may not be able to travel to the Championship as the Greek Embassy is not issuing visas to the members of the team. Teams from 30 countries will participate in the Championship.

The reason for refusal according to the Embassy officials is that they may be intending to stay in Greece. I reiterate — there is no danger of this.
