Talks on forming a new Greek government appear to be deadlocked after the smallest party in the coalition talks walked out on the third day. The office of the Greek president now says the talks will resume on Thursday.

Earlier, outgoing Prime Minister George Papandreou made what was expected to be his farewell address to the nation, pledging that the new government would respect the terms of an EU bailout. Without the bailout, Greece risks bankruptcy and an exit from the euro.
