Greece's 2020 draft budget plan is "compatible" with the Stability and Growth Pact, the European Commission said on Wednesday in a report presenting its opinion on the draft budgetary plans of all Eurozone member-states.

The finance ministry will table the 2020 draft budget in Parliament on Monday.
The draft budget will provide a primary surplus that easily meets the 3.5 pct of GDP target and forecasts that growth will be between 2.5-3.0 pct in 2020.

The prospects for joint development and cooperation with the Balkan countries are "the prospects of the future" for reorganising production in northern Greece and Thessaloniki, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Thursday.
