“The European Commission report is positive, objective and clearly outlines the results of the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism,” commented Daniela Daritkova, head of GERB’s parliamentary group. “It explicitly states that Bulgaria has started a series of investigations of high-level corruption. Charges have been pressed,” Daniela Dartikova said.

“The report is an inventory of a country, governed by underhand dealings and corrupt methods, with no accountability, a country in which the institutions which are called upon to uphold and guarantee the law cannot or will not do so,” commented at a briefing Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) MP Krum Zarkov. “It is a report of time wasted. The tough criticism in the report has been formulated by the BSP, including during no confidence votes,” Krum Zarkov said, as quoted by the BTA.
