Any delay in paying the next aid tranche will not create a problem to Greece, a German finance ministry spokesman said Friday.

Political instability in Greece has raised doubts about the nation continuing in the bloc. The country will again go to polls on June 17 as no party gained majority and negotiations to form a coalition government failed.
EU leaders urged Greece to stick to austerity measures in order to transfer bailout funds.
