Speaking to Kathimerini Monday, van Rompuy said that recent speculations about restructuring Greece's debt are rather "academic" and should not distract the government from its reform agenda. "Greece has only been implementing its programme for ten months and we have to allow time for the reforms to bring results," van Rompuy said.

Van Rompuj je u ponedeljak izjavio Katimeriniju da su nedavne špekulacije o restrukturiranju grčkog duga više „akademske“ i ne treba da remete vladu u njenom reformskom programu. „Grčka sprovodi svoj program samo deset meseci i moramo dopustiti da prođe vreme da bi reforme donele rezultate“, rekao je van Rompuj.
