Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s three-month-old government is under growing pressure at home and abroad to reach an agreement with European and IMF lenders over reforms to avert a national bankruptcy. “There were very important steps made at the Brussels Group (talks) which bring an agreement nearer,” the official said, declining to be named. The talks between technical teams from Athens and EU/IMF/ECB lenders are expected to resume on Monday, the official said after the country’s chief negotiators met with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.
