Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev, who is on a visit to Bosnia, said that whenever there was a crisis in neighboring countries Bulgaria suffered from this and now also it would be also affected by the Greek debt crisis. Whatever happens in Greece, we know the lessons of the previous crises and we are to cope with dignity with any crisis in the region, including the Greek one, the head of state said. Bloomberg reported that the European Central Bank was ready to grant Bulgaria and other countries in the region help to prevent negative effects on their banking systems caused by the Greek crisis. According to "Bloomberg," if at the upcoming referendum Greeks rejected the proposals of international creditors, the most likely scenario would be exiting the Eurozone. President of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem has predicted that regardless of the outcome of the referendum, the future for Greece would be "extremely difficult." Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has once again urged people to vote against the adoption of the proposals of the international creditors and added that the vote had nothing to do with the possible exit from the Eurozone. The European Financial Stability Facility has announced that it decided not to ask Athens for immediately repaying its loans, but still keeps the right to do so.
