Germany's chancellor said any new
Greek government must continue to implement the mix of austerity measures and structural reforms that the country has agreed to in exchange for its international bailouts.
Chancellor
Angela Merkel on Monday said
Greece itself must see what coalition government might be feasible following Sunday's parliamentary elections.
Germany says it will work with any democratically elected
Greek government. But Merkel cautions that "of course, the most important thing is that the programs we agreed with
Greece will be continued."
Greece which is deeply mired in recession has agreed to harsh austerity measures and reforms in return for two massive bailouts from European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
