Earlier on Friday, the Times reported that Eurozone countries are secretly drawing up plans to exclude Greece from the monetary union.
"We do not comment on rumors or speculation. Referring to previous comments by President [of the European Commission Jean-Claude] Juncker, we are working towards only one scenario, and that is to keep Greece in the Eurozone,” the source told RIA Novosti.
Speculations about Greece’s possible exit from the Eurozone monetary union started back in 2012 amid the country’s financial crisis. As Greek financial problems persisted and even intensified, in 2015, discussions about Greece’s exit from the Eurozone surfaced again.
In February, the country's new left-wing government promised to pursue economic reforms after Athens and Eurozone finance ministers agreed to extend the bailout deal until late June 2015.
