Greece will probably remain in the euro zone, Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti said on Thursday, but demands made of Greece by its partners had been unrealistic and far reaching economic reform could take decades to achieve. "Anything can happen, but I think the most probable outcome is the one which is most positive for Greece and for all of us," Monti said on an Italian television talk show, when asked if he believed Greece would stay in the currency bloc. "Europe has to learn how to not take too much of a short-term view," he said, adding the reforms needed in Greece would take a generation, rather than two or three years as its partners had demanded. "Greece has lost its sovereignty, it's under the instructions of the IMF, the ECB, the European Commission. Having the others tell you, 'here is the money but I'm deciding,' must be a terrible, terrible humiliation."
