[01] The time has come for decisions on Greece, EU's Tusk says
BRUSSELS (ANA-MPA/ M. Aroni) The time for negotiating was over and it was
now time for decisions on the Greek issue, European Council President
Donald Tusk said here on Thursday, in a joint press conference with
European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker after the end of the EU-CELAC
summit.
"It is very obvious that we need decisions, not negotiations," Tusk said,
and called on the Greek government to be "a little more realistic".
"There is no more time for gambling. The day is coming, I'm afraid,
that someone says that the game is over." Tusk stressed that the next
Eurogroup on June 18 will be really crucial and of decisive importance
for Greece, stressing that there was no more time. Juncker, on his
part, referred to his meeting with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras
on Wednesday night and the "good relations" between them, and that he
will be meeting with Tsipras again after the press conference.
