Persverklaring van de voorzitter van de Europese Raad, Donald Tusk, na zijn ontmoeting met de Griekse minister-president Alexis Tsipras
Met dank overgenomen van Europese Raad i, gepubliceerd op woensdag 4 februari 2015.
I was pleased to welcome Greece's new Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras i in Brussels today. Our talks were open and frank on a number of issues of common concern.
As regards European financial assistance to Greece, I stressed the need to find a solution acceptable to all Member States involved in the negotiations. Those negotiations will take place in the euro group. They will be difficult, will require cooperation and dialogue as well as determined efforts by Greece.
We agreed on the importance of unity within the European Union with regard to other key challenges facing Europe.
