Eurogroup meeting rescheduled

According to sources, the delay is due to bilateral deliberations that will precede the meeting aiming at a better preparation.

The extraordinary Eurogroup meeting that will examine Greece's request for extension of the loan agreement will start in Brussels with the presence of International Monetary Fund (IMF) managing director Christine Lagarde.

Diplomatic sources from Brussels told ANA-MPA that there were signs of progress on the Greek request after the conclusion of Thursday's EuroWorking Group meeting. They also said that the eurozone's Finance Ministers will move on the direction of a solution that appears to be possible to be accepted by the majority of the member states of the eurozone.

"We are giving a tough battle to achieve a mutally beneficial solution and at the same time respect the people's mandate," said government spokesman Gavriil Sakellaridis on Friday.
