Giorgos Zanias, a top negotiator in the nation's huge debt write down deal concluded earlier this year, has been appointed caretaker finance minister. Zanias is a senior Finance Ministry official and an Athens University professor of economics. Veteran diplomat Petros Molyviatis was named foreign minister, a post he also held in 2004-06. The caretaker government will not be able to take any internationally binding decisions, and its sole aim is to lead the country into the new elections, which are expected June 17. Parliament is to be dissolved Friday, and the election date officially set.
