Karolos Papoulias took the step on Saturday after socialist leader Evangelos Venizelos officially gave up the mandate to form a coalition government - following three rounds of negotiations.
Mr Papoulias' office announced that the president would initially meet the heads of the three parties that won the most votes in last Sunday's inconclusive elections - the conservative New Democracy, radical left-wing Radical Left Coalition (Syriza) and socialist PASOK."
