EP president Schultz to Tsipras: I will do everything in my power to find mutual solution

He will visit Athens next week

European Parliament President Martin Schultz called SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras on Sunday evening to congratulate him over his party’s victory in the country’s general elections.

Schultz characterized Sunday’s victory a huge success and told Tsipras that he will visit Athens next week, after the swearing-in of a new government and ahead of his meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

He also assured Tsipras that he would do whatever  in his power so that a “mutually acceptable, viable solution” is found, in the context of Greece’s negotiations with its creditors.
