The eurozone's top official said
Monday he still wants Greece to stay in the single European
currency.
Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who is also the
Dutch finance minister, also said the Greeks want to keep using
the euro.
"That is their goal, and still mine," he said on his way
into a Dutch cabinet meeting Monday in The Hague. "But we will
have to see if it happens".
Asked if it was still worth talking with the Greeks after
the referendum, Dijsselbloem said: "We will see. We are going to
see in the coming days if there are still openings. But there
are no easy solutions".
Dijsselbloem added that tough measures are still necessary
in Greece.
"And if the government and population reject tough
measures then we get to a very difficult place," he said.
