Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem (pictured) dismissed on Friday calls by the Greek government for an International conference that would deal with Greece’s external debt problems.
Such a forum already exists, Mr. Dijsselbloem told reporters in a tense Press conference following a meeting with Greece’s PM and Finance Minister in Athens, and “it’s called the Eurogroup, as you know.”
Furthermore, he strongly advised the Greek government against showing indifference to the country’s international obligations arising from its bail-out agreements.
“Ignoring the compromises is not the road to follow,” the Eurogroup’s chief stressed.
