Negotiations between Greek authorities and creditors to begin on Tuesday
Negotiations between Greek authorities and the institutions representing its creditors on a new programme for Greece will begin on Tuesday at a technical level, rather than on Monday as originally announced, a senior foreign ministry source said late on Saturday.

The heads of the institutions missions will not be arriving in Athens for another couple of days, they said, adding that the delay of the mission chiefs was due to technical, rather than political or diplomatic reasons.

Talks on how and where the negotiations will take place were also progressing well, the same sources said. According to Labour and Social Insurance Minister George Katrougalos, in statements to Skai on Sunday, these issues are still being discussed within the government.
