ND leader Antonis Samaras

Prime Minister George Papandreou held talks with main opposition New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras on the telephone on Wednesday, after a round of telephone calls with the leaders of the other political parties in Parliament. 

 

Their conversation lasted roughly 20 minutes and ND refused to reveal any information concerning their talks before the prime minister addresses the public. 

 

Samaras, who has been in continuous contact with his closest aides since the morning, was expected to head to his party's headquarters after the conversation with Papandreou. (ANA)
