Antonis Samaras visited Munich, where he had talks with Bavarian governor Horst Seehofer. Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras has also made the trip Sunday.
The government had initially said an announcement would be made over the weekend.
The government has said it will spend about €10 billion ($13 billion) in European funds on the buyback, offering between 30 and 40 percent of the bonds' face value.
The bond buyback, along with a tax bill to be introduced Tuesday, will clear the way for the release of €34 billion ($44 billion) in rescue loans.
