BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union is looking for ways to keep Greece inside the euro, but that may mean getting used to having a bankrupt country in the single currency area, European Council President Donald Tusk was quoted as saying.

"Maybe we will have to get used to living with a country as a member of the euro zone in bankruptcy," Tusk said in an interview given on Thursday evening to news website Politico before Sunday's Greek referendum on a bailout deal.
