Greece has held further talks with its international lenders, as discussions continue on more austerity measures.
Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said the negotiations in Athens were "so tough that as soon as one chapter closes another opens".
He was speaking after meetings with EU, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank delegates.
Negotiations between Greece's coalition parties on new austerity measures have been delayed until Tuesday.
Mr Venizelos went on to criticise the political parties for not reaching a deal with the nation's benefactors.
"Instead of looking at this tragic dilemma... there are many who spend their effort on a conventional, outdated, party confrontation as if nothing has happened.
"Sadly, we are distracted and we are not telling the Greek people the truth," he said in a statement.
