    "There are still a lot of days in the week left in which decisions can be taken, if necessary," Merkel said, speaking to reporters in the eastern city of Magdeburg.
    She noted that without an agreement between Greece and the so-called institutions - the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund - the summit on Monday evening could not be more than a discussion forum.
