Athens is currently negotiating debt relief terms with its international creditors, comprising the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Its current bailout program expires on June 30.

On Thursday, EU Commissioner on Economic and Financial Affairs Pierre Moscovici said that the failure to reach an agreement in talks between Greece and international creditors before the deadline could lead to catastrophic consequences.
