Andreas Grigoriou, Director-General of the Ministry of Agriculture and Coordinator for Fires, appears to be stepping down from two positions.

Elikkos Ilias, Director-General of the Ministry of Interior, will take over as Head of Administration, having the full trust of the President and having been utilized in the past during emergencies, such as taking on the position of Deputy Director-General of the Ministry of Defense during the availability of Ms. Anna Aristotelous.
