The report states that while progress was noted in Greece’s implementation of its post-bailout commitments, there are commitments that have yet to be met, most notably in the banking sector.

Regling said that the decision to disburse the money will be taken at the next Eurogroup meeting, based on the second post-bailout report by creditors

"Greece ranks first as concerns the use of funding backed from the EFSI", he said, and explained that over 22,000 small and medium-sized businesses have benefited from the funding.

'We believe that in light of recent developments efforts in this respect [North Macedonia's EU course] should be strengthened,' said a Commission spokesperson.

Centeno said that the lending “institutions” trust Greece as regards continued implementation of reforms and meeting commitments in the coming years, so as to become a success story.

'Commitment to reforms is key to further growth. The current forecast rests on an assumption of no policy change for fiscal policy in 2019 and 2020. This is projected to result in a primary surplus of 3.9% of GDP (ESM programme definition).'

the Greek side is working on the sidelines to ensure at least the tolerance of those who disagree. That was the approach of Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos at meetings with IMF chief Christine Lagarde and Poul Thomsen, leaving European finance ministers to make the final decision.

Christos Kopelouzos confirmed the interest of the Kopelouzos Group, which already has a five percent stake in the Athens airport.

A European Commission spokesman said that the only position that should be taken into account on pension cuts issue is the reply given in Latin by Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, 'Pacta sunt servanda'

Juncker proposed increasing the number of border guards from the current 1,300 to 10,000, in order to shield the EU from a host of security threats.
