ATHENS — Greek party leaders are to resume power-sharing talks after a week of deadlocked negotiations have brought the crisis-hit country closer to fresh elections, with its bailout program and even membership of the euro under renewed threat.
President Karolos Papoulias has summoned party leaders back to negotiations at 7:30 p.m. (1630GMT) Monday, May 14 after talks failed the previous day.
Conservatives won general elections on May 6, but the poll failed to produce an outright winner. The second-placed left wing party, Syriza, has refused to join a coalition, demanding that the terms of an international bailout be scrapped or radically renegotiated. Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras is not expected to attend Monday’s meeting.
