Quality of Life and Stray Stray Animals
Our first concern is to find a solution to the problem of stray animals in our municipality.

Animals are not only our friends but also our life companions. They deserve respect and a dignified life. With the cooperation of all relevant institutions and organisations and especially our citizens, we will ensure that all animals in the Municipality of Komotini receive the care they need.

1. Establishment of a new and modern shelter for stray animals.
2. Modernisation of the animal shelter and clinic.

We want to make our Komotini attractive again. To take back our neighbourhoods, parks, squares, buildings, streets.

1. Utilisation of the Karydorema area. Creation of an Environmental Park in cooperation with the Public Real Estate Company and the Ministry of Economy. This is an ambitious and large project aimed at improving a wider area.

Quality of Life and Settlements
The Municipality of Komotini must stand by all those who decide to live with their families and invest in our settlements.

It is our responsibility and honour to stand by our fellow citizens who sustain our villages.

6. Operation of mobile units of creative employment centres for young children.

Public Security and Civil Protection
After this summer's catastrophic natural events and with the experience of managing the covid19 pandemic, the Municipality of Komotini should be fully prepared and have a functional action plan for prevention, preparedness and response to natural disasters and dangerous situations.

We believe that prevention is the best protection and therefore take care to organise the necessary infrastructure and civil protection means from the very beginning.

1. Early warning systems for citizens - users (civil protection, fire brigade, police, etc.). Especially in critical infrastructures (schools, stadiums, bridges, Irish crossings, points of high risk of flooding, etc.).
2. Systems for early notification of the public, including for people with mobility difficulties or special needs, organised away
