Meeting DELAYED As Crucial Deadline Nears

[HuffingtonPost]

BRUSSELS, March 24 (Reuters) - Euro zone finance ministers  delayed by two hours a Sunday evening meeting intended to help  Cyprus meet a Monday deadline to avert collapse of its banking  system and potential exit from the euro.                

A euro zone official said the Eurogroup meeting of finance  ministers had been rescheduled for about 1900 GMT from 1700 GMT,  because talks with Cypriot officials ahead of those discussions  had overrun.                

Ahead of the ministers' meeting Cypriot President Nicos  Anastasiades held talks in Brussels on Sunday with EU, European  Central Bank and IMF leaders.     (Reporting by Annika Breidthardt; editing by Rex Merrifield)
