AI generated

The court dismissed the applicant's request to adapt a Greek prison sentence for execution in Denmark. The applicant argued that Danish law required such adaptation upon transfer, but the court found no statutory provision mandating this specific adjustment. Consequently, the original foreign sentence remains the sole basis for the execution period.
