Maltese PM on Greek vote - creditor countries must be protected

VALLETTA (Reuters) - Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said in reaction to Greece's referendum "No" vote on Sunday that people in creditor countries now expected their representatives to protect their interests.

Malta, as a member of the eurozone, is a creditor country to Athens. Its lending to Greece is proportionately among the highest, amounting to well over two percent of the island's GDP.
