Following the successful implementation of its KEP Citizens Service Centers, GreeceοΏ½s Interior Ministry has undertaken a pilot program to expand the concept, offering Hellenes living outside Greece a way to cut through bureaucratic οΏ½red-tapeοΏ½ 14 hours a day.  οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½ V.P. Chris P. Tomaras congratulates the Government on the program, saying, οΏ½This is a giant step forward for the omogenia worldwide, and I encourage the Government to do whatever is necessary not only to enhance this pilot program and make it permanent, but eventually have it available to Hellenes worldwide over the internet as well.οΏ½
