The institutions have agreed to return to Athens following a meeting between Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos, Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem and lenders' representatives, sources told Kathimerini ahead of a meeting of eurozone finance ministers in Malta on Friday.

Speaking to reporters, the Dutch finance minister said he was "in a positive mood," adding however that no agreement on Greece was expected to be reached Friday.

"There will be no total political deal today," he said.
