The Cooperation and Verification Mechanism is still in place for Bulgaria, said Věra Jourová, Vice President of the European Commission at the presentation of the EU rule of law reports.
“As you know, there were plans to lift it, but there is still unfinished business, for the Bulgarian authorities, especially for the government, the reforms have to be finalized,” Věra Jourová said. She added that Bulgarian Parliament and government should deal with the findings of the report “very seriously”, because “when people are expressing such dissatisfaction and such mistrust, and a very clear feeling that it is not possible to receive justice from the state, then this is a serious thing to be considered by the national authorities.”
To support her words she cited the results of the regular sociological surveys, which give a very clear message from the Bulgarian people that the trust in the judiciary and the institutions is very low, the BNR reports.
