Bidzos speaks different languages including English, Greek, Macedonian, German and a little Japanese. He never gave up his Greek citizenship, as Greece does not allow dual citizenship and he preferred to keep his membership with the European Community to be able to work and travel freely within the European countries. He believes that being a green card holder has no difference with being a naturalized American citizen.
