A deal will be reached, he estimated, because "the opposite would not be in either side's interests." Moreover, Sakellaridis predicted that ECB's board will not take a decision that will hurt Greek banks in the midst of the negotiation and thanked the Greek people for staying calm despite the "cries for the opposite". He said that the possibility of a referendum or early elections is not on the table and noted that the government has fresh popular mandate for a four-year term in office. Finally, the spokesman announced that Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will leave for St. Petersburg on July 8, in accordance with his schedule.
