Emissaries of the Venice Commission come to Sofia for talks

Representatives of the Venice Commission will arrive in Sofia to discuss with the Bulgarian institutions the project to change the Constitution, submitted by the ruling majority and the MRF party. Bulgaria's Supreme Judicial Council will elect six of its members to participate in a meeting with the experts from the Commission. 

The project for amendments to Bulgaria's Constitution has not yet proceeded according to the official procedure in the council, therefore at the meeting the Bulgarian magistrates will express their personal opinion, and not a general position of the Plenum of the Council, the institution emphasized.

On September 14 and 15, the representatives of the Commission will also talk with President Rumen Radev, Minister of Justice Atanas Slavov,  and the members of the Constitutional Parliamentary Commission. 

The Venice Commission, or European Commission for Democracy through Law, is an advisory body on constitutional law of the Council of Europe.
