BRUSSELS, July 12. /TASS/. The meeting of the Eurogroup is over and the final decision on Greece will be adopted at the European Union summit on Sunday, Malta’s Finance Minister Edward Scicluna has said.

The minister said the sides had a substantive discussion and the leaders will make a decision "already today." The discussion will continue on Sunday at the ministerial level and at the level of heads of states, he added.

The meeting of the Eurogroup has ended with no decision on Greece and the finance ministers of the eurozone will gather Sunday morning ahead of the summit, Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem has said.

The talks of 19 countries of the Eurogroup on Greece are tense and the problem of confidence and the issue of financial support remain, Dijsselbloem said after the meeting.

The sides have decided to continue the effort at 0900GMT on Sunday. The Eurogroup is due to announce its decision on Greece for the EU summit by 1300GMT.
