“Efforts are needed by all ministries and actors to achieve social integration of refugees,” said Philippe Leclerc. Leclerc came to Greece in December 2015 to take over as the Representative of UNHCR when the borders to Europe were still open for asylum seekers passing through the country by the thousands. Today, his appointment is ending. Speaking to To Vima he looks back on these last five years.
