President Katerina Sakellaropoulou expressed “profound sadness” at the death of Moisis Elisaf, the mayor of the city of Ioannina, western Greece, who passed away on Friday after a battle with cancer at the age of 68.
In her statement, she extolled his “rare integrity of character,” noting that “his soft-spoken, unifying, bold and visionary personality will be missed by his fellow citizens and by all of us who knew him, talked with him, worked with him and connected with him in a friendship that is priceless.”
She said Elisaf was an “opponent of intolerance and fanaticism, who built bridges between people and inspired with the ethos and his vision”.
