[09:33] {Threei} (GR) Slovakia Fin Min Miklos: Slovakia has always required collateral from Greece for loans
[09:33] {Threei} - Cannot conceive of a situation where some european nations get collateral for Greece aid and others do not.
[09:33] {Threei} ***Reminder: On Aug 16th the Greek finance minister and the Finland finance minister both stated that Greece and Finland had reached a deal on collateral to be used to secure Finnish aid to Greece. Under proposed framework, Greece would offer cash rather than assets such as islands as collateral for Finland loans.
