The Troika is expected in Athens tomorrow to continue negotiations on a number of thorny issues that have held back the disbursement of a 1 billion euro aid tranche that has been delayed for months.

A return of troika representatives to Athens before the 9th December Eurogroup is not foreseen was the statement made by Simon O'Connor, spokesperson for Olli Rehn, European Commissioner responsible for Economic and Monetary Affairs.

"The troika will return to Athens, after the 9 December Eurogroup," said finance minister Yannis Stournaras after his meeting with the Prime Minister, precipitated by the troika's postponment of next week's visit.
