Greece adopts reforms ahead of Eurogroup talks
Doing so should unlock next tranche of 86 billion euro bailout - the third for the country since 2010

The ministers are expected to complete a long-stalled first review of Greece's massive EU-IMF bailout and discuss new debt relief measures at the crunch meeting in Brussels, which follows mass public opposition to the newly adopted measures in the cash-strapped country.
