Everything was wrapped up in three days. With Athens, the «weather» turned cold; indeed, «winter» began, which apparently will last a long time. Imagine our columns of refugees travelling to return to the Homeland in the middle of this «winter». With Belgrade, as is already the case, «winter» has been going on for years. If only there were rain, but apparently it is not meant to be that the northern and northeastern flank of Albania should bring on the season when the snow melts.
