Pressing for Greek concessions, Merkel and Hollande keep Tsipras waiting

BRUSSELS/ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece and its international lenders moved closer to the brink on Wednesday with the leaders of Germany and France holding off on an expected meeting with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to press for more concessions from the Greek side. Athens said it was waiting for the creditors to respond to ideas it put forward on Monday. "The Greek government has submitted its proposal to the institutions, along with two supplementary documents with specific alternatives on the fiscal gap and the sustainability of Greek debt ... So far, there has been no comment or response to the Greek representation in Brussels," a Greek official said in a statement.
