Greece responded negatively to the request of the Austrian Minister of Interior Johanna Mickle-Leitner to visit Athens and discuss migration crisis, a diplomatic source in Greece told RIA Novosti.
After calling back the Greek ambassador to Vienna for consultations, Interior Minister Mikli-Leitner has expressed his intention to visit the Greek capital and to express Austria's hard position with regard to the refugee problem.
"The Greek side made it clear that the visit cannot take place so long as the measures against Greece are cancelled," the source said.
