Greek president calls meeting of party leaders

Upon the request of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos has convened a meeting of the leaders of the seven parties represented in Parliament.

In a meeting with Pavlopoulos, Tsipras was expected to have presented his plans for negotiating a new bailout deal with the country's creditors.

Pavlopoulos says he accepted Tsipras' demand, saying that the referendum was not about staying in or leaving the euro.

Meanwhile, Police say about 100-150 anarchist protesters have started throwing firebombs at riot police and setting trash cans on fire in the central Athens neighbourhood of Exarcheia. This is far from the place where celebrations are taking place by supporters of the "no" vote in Sunday's referendum.

There was no indication that the violence was connected to the political campaigns involved in the vote.
