Juncker skips Bulgaria visit over Greek crisis
Bulgaria's government says a previously scheduled visit by Luxembourg's Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker to the Balkan country has been postponed.
(AP) — Bulgaria's government says a previously scheduled visit by Luxembourg's Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker to the Balkan country has been postponed because of a eurozone meeting to address Greece's crisis later this week.
Juncker, who also heads the eurozone group, was supposed to be in Bulgaria on July 18 and 19, the government's press office said. No new dates for the visit were announced.
Eurozone leaders will hold an emergency summit to work on a response to the Greek crisis Thursday. The 17 eurozone countries are expected to forge a deal on a second bailout for Greece's sovereign debt crisis.
