Vital week ahead for Euro economy

European leaders are gearing up for a high-stakes week of financial diplomacy that could determine Greece’s future – and the stability of the 17 countries that use the euro.

The first round of shuttle diplomacy began with Germany’s foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, hosting his Greek counterpart, Dimitris Avramopoulos, ahead of a meeting in Berlin on Friday between their countries’ leaders, chancellor Angela Merkel and prime minister Antonis Samaras.
