Merkel praises Greece’s efforts in handling crisis

German Chancellor Angela Merkel praised the efforts made by Greece and its government in handling the current economic crisis.

“I am fully aware that some Eurozone countries and of the EU should have taken tough adaptation measures, either in Greece – where we are observing with great respect what the Greek government has put on track – or in other countries in which a lot of things have been achieved,” Merkel said while addressing, on Tuesday, the diplomatic corps in Berlin.
