Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann are to meet in Athens on Wednesday, a day before eurozone finance ministers gather for crucial talks on the debt-wracked nation, dpa reported. Faymann is expected to express his solidarity with the Greek people and urge Athens to work towards a compromise solution in order to avert a default on its debt and a possible exit from the eurozone. Athens and European officials traded accusations on Tuesday over the stalled negotiations, casting doubt on whether progress could be made at Thursday's Eurogroup meeting - considered one of the last opportunities to achieve a breakthrough in the long-running talks. The European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund are the institutions involved in the negotiations on economic measures required for Greece to access 7.2 billion euros (8.1 billion dollars) in remaining bailout funds.
