Mr Van Rompuy and Mr Barroso saluted the courage and resilience of the Greek citizens, and said they were fully aware of the sacrifices demanded from them to redress the Greek economy and build new, sustainable growth for the country.
"The Greek people have spoken. We fully respect its democratic choice. We are hopeful that the election results will allow a government to be formed quickly.
We will continue to stand by Greece as a member of the EU family and of the euro area. We look forward to working with the new government and to supporting the continued efforts of Greece to put its economy on a sustainable path.
The second economic adjustment programme agreed between Greece and the Eurogroup is the basis upon which to build to foster growth, prosperity and jobs for the Greek people. We stand ready to continue assisting Greece in achieving these goals.
