“The Greek government insists on its positions which were accepted a few days ago as a basis for discussion,” government sources on Thursday said after the conclusion of the meeting between Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and the representatives of the institutions.

The same sources added: “The proposals were specialised and submitted to the institutions and will be submitted to the European Union’s institutional bodies too. They constitute a realistic approach for an immediate agreement in the framework of February 20 Eurogroup.

The Greek government has shown responsibility and willingness for a political solution. Now it is time to judge the accountability and the willingness of everyone.”
