Media Accreditation

Only accredited journalists and technical staff may access the venues of informal ministerial meetings in Athens and the Zappeion Press Centre. Accreditation is obtained via the accreditation system on the Presidency website online-casino-greece.com.

It is important to note that while the general six-month media accreditation for Brussels based journalists is valid for the entire six-month period of the Greek Presidency, media representatives wishing to attend specific meetings/events must still register for each individual meeting by filling in a registration form on the accreditation platform.

When accessing the online accreditation platform for the first time you will be asked to provide your email address in order to receive your personal access code. You will then need to access the system again and start your registration from the login page.

Registration for the meetings/events of the Presidency can begin from the date the system goes live in December.

To guarantee accreditation confirmation for a specific meeting, registration must be completed at least 10 days prior to the meeting/event.

On the accreditation page you will be requested to enter your personal data, your press card number and attach either a scanned copy of your press card or a letter of reference from the commissioning media.

You will also need to upload a passport photograph respecting the following format:

Type: jpg, png, gif or bmp
Maximum file size: 3Mb
Recommended size: 480 x 640 pixels.

The final step involves selecting the meetings/events you would like to attend. A separate application is required for each meeting/event. Confirmation of your accreditation will be sent to you by email in good time before the meeting/event. You will also receive an email reminding you to confirm your attendance or to cancel your participation if you are unable to attend.
