Tserkezoi shooting range to be closed
Defence Minister Vasilis Palmas announced the closure of the Tserkezoi shooting range and stated that preparations have already begun, but gave no exact timeline. The shooting range in the Kalo Chorio area had repeatedly raised concerns about safety and forest fire risk. A commentary calls on Palmas to finally act, after a fire in one month had evacuated two communities and an unexploded shell had been found.
