European Union President Donald Tusk rejected Greece’s request for a leaders’ meeting, saying euro-area finance ministers should convene in the next few days to resolve disagreements on the nation’s bailout program.

“We have to avoid a situation of renewed uncertainty for Greece,” Tusk, who chairs summits of EU and euro-area leaders, told reporters in Brussels on Wednesday. “I am convinced that there is still more work to be done by the ministers of finance.”
