Speaking about the meeting to Today, Mr Schulz said: "I think he has understood better the dimension of his new job, that first of all he's obliged to work the interests of his country and not just of his party".

"It is impossible to speak about a deal, a precondition for a deal is that the Greek government recognises the duties the country has taken over".
