Reports say that the Greek side gave a presentation at the finance ministers' meeting on Tuesday. However, sources said there was no new written plan. | |
One source told Reuters: "They say they will submit a new request and outline of proposals, maybe tomorrow (Wednesday)." | |
Reflecting the level of difficulty at the meeting, another eurozone official said: "If they really plan to present something formal tomorrow, they may not find anyone to read it." | |
Mr Tsipras has been reported to want Greece's vast €323bn ($356bn; £228bn) debt to be cut by up to 30%, with a 20-year grace period. | |
He will meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande before Tuesday evening's leaders' summit in Brussels, a Greek government official said. | |
French PM Manuel Valls said earlier that France would do all it could to keep Greece in the eurozone and that "the basis for a deal exists". | |
However, Germany has warned against any unconditional write-off of Greece's debt, amid fears it would destroy the single currency. |
