A cabinet meeting decided on Monday to appoint government vice president Theodoros Pangalos to coordinate action for downtown Athens and the handling of unlawful behaviour.
Attica Regional Governor Yiannis Sgouros and Athens Mayor George Kaminis were also present at the cabinet meeting.
The measures decided include daily patrols that will also be assisted by members of the municipal police, targeted action by the Crime Prevention and Suppression Group, large operations of generalised police checks at least on a weekly basis, the creation of a bicycle road network and the turning of old hotels in central Athens into student dormitories.
