Greek president to continue coalition talks Monday - official


    ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's president will continue talks with the country's political leaders on Monday evening to try to form a government, a senior presidency official said.

    "The meetings will continue tomorrow at 7:30 pm (1630 GMT)," the official told reporters after President Karolos Papoulias concluded a fruitless first round of meetings with the leaders of all seven parties that made it into parliament in an inconclusive election on May 6.
