Chancellor Angela Merkel says she's hoping for a good future for Greece in the eurozone as Germany pushes Athens to comply fully with the terms of its financial bailout.
Germany's Parliament signed off Friday on a four-month extension to Greece's bailout, an agreement under which the new Greek government committed to honouring its financial obligations fully. It now has to submit detailed reform plans and pass a review by creditors.
Merkel said Monday: "On this basis, I hope for a good future for Greece as a member of the eurozone."
Comments by Greek officials casting doubt on elements of the bailout have irked key creditor Germany. Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told ARD television Sunday: "We insist on what was agreed being fulfilled."
