Eurozone finance ministers pushed Greece on Friday to get back to work on the bailout package before getting a new tranche of money.
Ministers at theinformal Eurogroup summit in Bratislava on Friday expressed concerns that the country, which was due to update the group, was falling behind schedule in its efforts.
The head of the Eurogroup, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, said that no more time could be wasted.
“The pressure is back on, it really needs progress,” he said.
“I am not feeling very good about Greece, agreements are there to be implemented”, Austrian Finance Minister Hans Joerg Schelling told reporters ahead of the meeting.
Schelling joined others in saying the aid release would be linked to the agreed conditions and pushing Greece to move faster.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Greece still could complete its work.
“Today is September 9, so there is still time for Greece,” he told reporters. “It’s not new that, with Greece, we see the implementation of the measures that have been agreed towards the final phase of the time frame”. “At the end of the month I hope that we see a lot more progress,” Dijsselbloem said.
