Greek officials sees conclusion of bailout review in April

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and other government officials reiterated their confidence that the second review of Greece's third bailout will be concluded in April, local media reported on Sunday.

"The agreement will close and we will vote measures and offset measures which will be applied after 2019 only if, in the meantime, effective measures for the debt will be implemented," Tsipras was quoted by Sunday's "Ethnos" (Nation) daily as saying.

"We are entering the final stretch. There will be developments in the next days," government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos also told SKAI TV on Sunday.

Meanwhile, an opinion poll released showed that most Greek citizens are frustrated with the long delay in negotiations with international lenders.

The second assessment of the current bailout should have closed in February 2016, according to the initial timetable agreed in 2015.

As Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem has said it was unlikely that the upcoming Eurogroup meeting on April 7 will seal a deal to conclude the review, Greek voters are not content, according to the survey conducted by Palmos Analysis polling firm for tvxs news portal.

About 41 percent of respondents in the poll put the blame for the delay on the Greek side, 33 percent on both and 19 percent on creditors only.

The opinion poll was carried out in the period between March 23 and 30 with 1,001 participants throughout Greece. Endit
