President Rumen Radev and Radio Free Europe Executive Director Jamie Fly have discussed media environment in Bulgaria and freedom of speech.

President Radev has pointed out that professional standards in journalism could only be upheld by free media, politically and financially independent. The financial vulnerability of a number of media and the lack of clear rules for the allocation of EU funds have been cited as serious factors for distorting media environment in Bulgaria. Mr. Jamie Fly urged the Bulgarian institutions to act effectively in case of any attempt to exert administrative or other pressure on Bulgarian journalists.
