No breakthrough in late-night talks between Tsipras and key officials

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras left talks at the European Commission with representatives of the institutions shortly after 1 a.m. on Thursday with no agreement between the Greek delegation and lenders.

Technical talks are due to continue at 6 a.m. Brussels time, while Tsipras will meet again with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, International Monetary Fund managing director Christine Lagarde and European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi at 9 a.m.

The Eurogroup, which held an inconclusive session on Wednesday evening, is due to meet again at 1 p.m. on Thursday. It has been suggested that an agreement will need to be in place ahead of that so eurozone finance ministers will have time to assess it.
