The European Commission has not promised to lift monitoring on Bulgaria in 2019, especially if that country does not show irreversible results in the fight against corruption, EU Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality Vera Jourova told the Bulgarian National Radio. I do not think that EC President Jean Claude Juncker has promised that the EU would definitely lift the Mechanism for Cooperation and Verification on Bulgaria. We have been always saying that we were expecting significant results and irreversible reforms.

The next report of the EU under the Mechanism for Cooperation and Verification is due in December this year.
