Greece still has "two or three gestures" it can make to avert a disastrous deadlock in its EU-IMF talks and a possible default, an opposition leader said Tuesday after talks with the prime minister.

"The PM told me there are two or three gestures he can make. He hopes that our European friends will make equivalent gestures," Stavros Theodorakis, head of the small pro-EU party To Potami, told reporters.
