AnonymousThe leaders of Greece and Italy find it increasingly difficult to win their government's support.I would have said win their governments' support since there are two governments that are being approached for support, not a single government that governs both countries.

No need to add an apostrophe because the Possessive noun form called Apostrophe is used to express possession with proper names or nouns which represent people. e.g: Michael´s money, the teacher´s desk.
