Luxembourg: Eurozone ministers will on Thursday try to resolve their differences over the terms of Greece's departure from its massive bailout programme with splits over the degree of debt relief needed by cash-strapped Athens.
If successful the talks will mark an important milestone for Europe nine years after Greece stunned the world with out-of-control debts and set the scene for three bailouts and a near collapse of the euro single currency.
Finance ministers from the 19 countries that use the single currency are seeking to agree debt relief and a sizeable cash cushion for Greece that will reassure financial markets on the ability of Athens to stand on its own.
"Tomorrow we are expecting a decision for the adjustment of Greece's debt which will mark the end of an ... ordeal for Greece, and the end of austerity," Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in Athens on Wednesday.
