    [03] ATHOC, IOC: Excellent cooperation by all sides, every project feasible

    10/04/2003 23:39:14

    Athens organisers (ATHOC) and the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) top executive overseeing the 2004 Games presented a more-or-less bright picture in terms of progress and a united front here on Thursday, stressing that cooperation amongst all sides is excellent and that every project is feasible, even amid pressing deadlines.

    The 10th visit here by the high-ranking IOC Coordination Commission -- again headed by its Swiss chairman, Denis Oswald -- comes at a crucial time for the closely watched 2004 Olympics, as the first round of ?test events? are only a few months away (August).

    ''Everything that is expected to happen is feasible within the next 500 days ... but there are a number of projects under time pressure,? Oswald said in reference to a handful of nagging delays at certain venues.

    As in previous visits, Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis received the IOC delegation prior to the press conference.
