ATHENS, Greece—Bailout negotiators are due to return to Athens to start talks on a massive new rescue package after Greece’s parliament approved tough new conditions set by lenders.
Officials in Athens and at the European Union said negotiators are expected to start arriving Friday, marking the first time high-level talks will be held in the Greek capital since Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ left-wing government assumed power in late January.
The news came hours after parliament approved a second round of reforms Greece’s European creditors had demanded before the negotiations could start. Tsipras narrowly survived an anti-austerity revolt within his own party.
It was the final hurdle the country had to clear before talks can start over a third bailout worth around 85 billion euros ($93 billion).
