The puzzling admission was spotted by journalist Peter Spiegel who uploaded the video on twitter.
At Monday's Eurogroup meeting, finance ministers decided to begin discussing debt relief for Greece after international lenders verify that Athens has carried out promised reforms.
However, after the press conference, Dijsselbloem seems to be admitting to EU Commissioner Pierre Moscovici who was sitting next to him that he provoked the Greece debt debate.
This is the dialogue caught on microphone:
Moscovici: "I think you've launched a huge debate, a huge debt debate, on debt relief."
Dijsselbloem: "I did it on purpose."
