Greece's finance minister says all pending issues in its international creditors' requirements for the country's second bailout will be completed ahead of a Wednesday, February 15 evening conference call between eurozone finance ministers, The Associated Press reported.
Evangelos Venizelos said that "very few" issues remained and would be wrapped up before the call at 6p.m. Greek time (1600GMT) Wednesday.
The call is being held instead of a meeting between the ministers, which was called off Tuesday because Athens had not met all the requirements, including plugging a €325 million ($427.99 million) financing gap and providing written guarantees from the governing coalition's party leaders.
Venizelos made the comments after a meeting with President Karolos Papoulias, who he said will give up his presidential salary to help in the crisis.
