Bulgarian PM Boiko Borisov stated Thursday that the EU's poorest economy is ready to provide Greece with humanitarian aid.

In case the Greeks need help, we’ll always support them” by providing food and medicine, Borisov said in a phone interview with Bloomberg in Sofia late Wednesday. “That money could be used for” domestic “social policy or for education instead, but we’ll still do it.”

He added that Bulgaria is determined to help keep Greece afloat as a possible collapse of the country's southern neighbor could well cause subsequent negative consequences across the rest of Balkan nations.

Greek government submitted official list of reform proposals in late Thursday.
