Speaking on Skai television, she said that the country seeks a credit line and "our job is to prove that we can make it".

Responding to a question on the political negotiation conducted by the prime minister, she said that details of the negotiation cannot be made public, underlining that the Greek people should rest assured that the best is being done. She also noted that the government wants the negotiation to be completed by the end of the year, underlining that the economic growth will not be put at risk.

On the suggestions for a dialogue between the government and the main opposition party, Voultepsi said that the prime minister has called for "national consensus" and the government vice-president has spoken about an "unbroken national front" as opposed to SYRIZA that sees no potential for a consensus.

The minister briefed reporters on the results of the excavations at Kasta Tomb in Amphipolis, noting that monument reinforcement studies and conservation of the findings will be underway. He also referred to the cooperation with Thessaloniki's Aristotle University (AUTh) that has proceeded with the electrical imaging of the subsurface using the method of the electrical resistivity tomography.

He characterized the burial monument as unique and as regards the skeleton that was unearthed, he said that it will be studied by Greek scientists.

"On August 12, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras spoke about a unique archaeological find added to Greece's magnificent mosaic of cultural achievements. Today, three-and-a-half months later, I had the honor and the pleasure to visit this burial monument that has fascinated the Greek people and has attracted international admiration. I honestly want to say that pictures do not do justice to the monument. It is even greater, even more fascinating and exquisite," he said and congratulated the archaeological team headed by Katerina Peristeri.

He said that he congratulated everyone participating in the excavations, adding that the phase launched in 2012 has been completed and now the next phase is launched in which even more scientists will be involved.

Referring to the development of the greater region, he said that a cooperation with the municipality of Amphipolis has began on an order by the prime minister.
