We must do all to keep Greece in eurozone - French President Hollande

Associated Press Sunday, 21 June 2015, 18:01 Last update: about 12 years ago

French President Francois Hollande says everything must be done to keep financially-ailing Greece in the eurozone.

Hollande said that "if the Greeks leave the eurozone it won't be positive for the Greeks or Europeans."

The French leader spoke to reporters in Milan Sunday after meeting with Italian Premier Matteo Renzi.

Hollande said "we need stability" especially since much of Europe is beginning to rebound economically.

He said that "for this reason we must reach an accord" between Greece and its creditors.

There will be an emergency eurozone summit on Monday in Brussels.

Renzi said European leaders were working so that "in the next hours ... there will be an agreement" over Greece.

He didn't provide any more details.
