 Freddie Bellary thanked the Greek Prime Minister on arrival in Athens following his release from an Albanian prison. Kyriakos Mitsotakis placed Mr Bellary on his candidate list in last month's elections for the European Parliament. He's also been pressuring Albania, threatening to block EU accession negotiations unless it overturns the new MEP's conviction. The Albanian authorities have granted Mr Bellary a five-day leave from prison so he can attend the European Parliament's inaugural session in Strasbourg.
