Tsipras, Zaev Among Favourites For Nobel Peace Prize Nomination
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and FYROM Prime Minister Zoran Zaev are among the favourites to become nominees for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, said Wiktor Nummellin, the Swedish TT news agency's special correspondent for Nobel Prizes, on Monday in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA). "It is hard to say who is nominated and who is not nominated, because that is half secret, but they have been mentioned for the Prize," he said and added: "Every year there is a lot of speculation and discussion about who will get the Peace Prize and what kind of area they would like to put attention to. This year they are talking a lot about the Korean peninsula, they are talking about the refugee situation, the situation between Greece and 'Macedonia' with the negotiations."
