Deliberations can continue provided Greeks want to, President Hollande says

Deliberations can continue provided Greeks want to, President Hollande says

"I hope, if Greece decides so, that the negotiations will continue," French President Francois Hollande on Monday said after a meeting with France's Prime Minister Manuel Valls and Finance Minister Michel Sapin.

"But it will be the Greeks that will decide. France is always available to continue deliberations today or tomorrow," he added.

An agreement is still possible today, we do not know about tomorrow, it will depend on the Greeks' response to the referendum, Hollande stated.

France is in favour of Greece remaining in the eurozone, it is ready to act, but it can do so provided there is common willingness for a solution.
