Dijsselbloem notes progress in Greek talks
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the eurozone's top official, says discussions over a Greek bailout request have come a long way but that some thorny issues remain which leaders will address later at a special summit.
Following the conclusion of what turned out to be a two-day meeting of the 19 finance ministers of the eurozone, Dijsselbloem said "weve come a long way" but that "some big issues still remain."
Dijsselbloem, in his capacity as eurogroup president will brief eurozone leaders about the progress so far.
"Were now going to inform the leaders and they're going to discuss and hopefully decide on those last issues," he said, without specifying what those issues were.
