Top Olympic officials will travel to neighboring Albania this week to discuss bolstering security for this summer's Athens Games

Public Order Minister Giorgos Voulgarakis will meet with counterpart Igli Toska and Albanian Prime Minister Fatos Nano on Wednesday. Greece is seeking support from all its neighbors to bolster border security during the games, amid fears that terrorists may exploit routes used by Balkan trafficking gangs which smuggle people, drugs and guns into the European Union. Voulgarakis will be accompanied by Greek police chief Fotis Nasiakos and National Intelligence Service director Pavlos Apostolidis. Athens is spending more than $800 million on its Olympic security program, which is expected to involve 50,000 Greek police and soldiers and receive support from the NATO and the European Union. The current round of ticket sales ends Friday, and tickets will go on sale again June 1. The public sale is separate from the distribution of more than 2.2 million tickets reserved for Olympic sponsors, members of the International Olympic Committee and other officials.
