Overall, Bulgarians believe that the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism is having a positive impact on the judiciary and the fight against organized crime and corruption. According to 69 percent, the EC progress reports must continue until the country has reached the level of the other European countries. A mere 16 percent of the respondents say that the Mechanism for Cooperation and Verification must be dropped.
