The president of the European Commission says Greece’s vote to open talks on a third bailout is a good first step, but Jean-Claude Juncker warned that Athens must honour agreements on economic reform made at a recent eurozone summit.<br /><br /> Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras agreed to start negotiations at a meeting of eurozone leaders last week once he had sought parliamentary approval.<br /><br /> That approval came on Wednesday, paving the way for talks to start on the country’s third bailout.<br /><br /> “The agreement we have reached with Greece will lead to the expected results, under the assumption that the whole program we agreed upon will be implemented,” Juncker said in a press conference in Cyprus on Thursday.<br /><br /> Eurozone finance ministers tentatively agreed earlier to provide a seven billion euro bridge loan to Greece to help the country meet its short-term financing needs.<br /><br /> The loan should be approved by all EU finance ministers on Friday.
