Newly-elected Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras will not attend next week's EU summit as he is recovering from serious eye surgery, the government spokesman said on Sunday.
Greece will be represented at the June 28-29 summit by Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos, who will be accompanied by acting Finance Minister George Zannias, spokesman Simos Kedikogkou told reporters.
Kedikoglou said Samaras' surgeon had "strictly forbidden" a voyage.
