A Greek government official, placed close to the negotiation procedure, stated to ANA – MPA (Athens Macedonian News Agency ):
«We are far from finding a solution at the Eurogroup on Thursday, given that Germany has not taken any progress step. If there is no positive move in the next few hours or during the Eurogroup meeting by the German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeulbe, then it seems that the hot potato will be handed over to Chancellor Merkel».
According to ANA – MPA, Greek Prime Minister has already agreed with European Council president Donald Tusk that if the Eurogroup fails to reach an agreement, the next morning the Greek government will submit a written request the Euro Summit to convene, on the sidelines of the Summit.
