Prime Minister Antonis Samaras was returning from Norway's capital Oslo on Monday, after attending a ceremony awarding the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union.

Addressing other European leaders at the Nobel Peace Prize Banquet held after the award ceremony, Samaras outlined the situation in Greece and particularly stressed the sacrifices being made by Greek citizens, placing great emphasis on social cohesion in relation to the award given to the EU.

"We must ensure social peace. In Greece we have 58 percent unemployment among young people and this threatens social cohesion, it is something that can cause phenomena of political extremism and if this continues it can affect the rest of Europe," Samaras said.

Other speakers at the banquet included German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande, Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, European Parliament President Martin Schulz and Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
