A top Greek government delegation met on Monday in Brussels with ECB chief Mario Draghi, with the post-bailout situation in the recession-battered country dominating discussions.
Greece’s side was represented by Deputy PM Yannis Dragasakis, FinMin Euclid Tsakalotos and Alternate FinMin Giorgos Chouliarakis.
Other participants at the meeting included ECB Executive Board member Benoit Coeuré as well as ECB principal adviser Francesco Drudi.
