Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras plans to press fellow European Union leaders to help resolve the deadlock in talks with creditors, inserting his country’s crisis into an EU summit intended to discuss eastern Europe.

Tsipras will raise the standoff in bailout negotiations on the sidelines of talks to be held May 21-22 in Riga, Latvia, according to a Greek government official. Another European official said Tsipras was expected to attend the summit, while saying that Greece is not on the meeting’s agenda. Both officials asked not to be named as the diplomacy is not public.
