"Coordinating body for migration asks Epirus municipalities to allocate venues for refugees -The Coordinating Centre for Management of the Refugee Crisis (CCMRC), the body responsible for overseeing the management of the refugee issue, has asked Epirus Prefecture to allow the use of five unused venues as temporary accommodation centers for refugees and migrants. The venues proposed are a boarding school and a sports field in the village of Doliana, a students' hall in Tsepelovo in Zagori, which closed down on 2010, a section of the runway of the old airport in Katsika at the municipality of Ioannina, the closed military camp in Filippiada and a municipal farmers land in Preveza. In its document sent to local mayors, CCMRC is asking them to give their feedback and comment on it, so as to proceed with the refurbishing of the venues as soon as possible".
