President Rumen Radev expressed doubts whether the current Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) could meet the high public expectations when electing a new prosecutor general. Speaking in the "Albena" resort before the start of the annual meeting of Bulgarian municipalities, Rumen Radev said that there are high public expectations that the new prosecutor general will restore the sense of justice, which requires legitimacy in his election. ''The Supreme Judicial Council has repeatedly demonstrated that it is subject to political conjuncture and is riddled with dependencies. It has demonstrated this with its latest decision to nominate only one candidate for the position of prosecutor general’’, said President Radev.

Regarding the willingness expressed by North Macedonia's Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski for negotiations on EU integration, Rumen Radev noted that he is always open to dialogue, but emphasized that it should be conducted mainly between the Republic of North Macedonia and the European Commission, BTA reported.
