ATHENS: Struggling Greece will keep on repaying its EU-IMF creditors for as long as it can, with some 300 million euros due next week and no deal in talks over the country’s remaining bailout funds, a spokesman said.

“To the extent that we are able to pay, we will keep on repaying these obligations,” government spokesman Gabriel Sakellaridis said.

He added: “It is the government’s responsibility to be able to repay all these obligations.... It is also the responsibility of the creditors to be faithful to (their) loan obligations.”

Sakellaridis’s remarks came a day after a cabinet minister said Greece had “no money” to make a series of repayments to the International Monetary Fund from June 5.

“The instalments for the IMF in June are (overall) 1.6 billion euros ($1.8 billion). This money will not be given. There isn’t any to be given. This is a known fact,” Interior Minister Nikos Voutsis said on Sunday.

Greece’s radical-left government has been locked in negotiations with its creditors — the IMF, the European Union and the European Central Bank — for the past four months in a bid to unlock some 7.2 billion euros in bailout cash.

The Syriza-led government, which was elected in January on an anti-austerity platform, has so far refused to agree to key economic reforms that the creditors want in exchange for the rescue funds.
