The Prosecutor’s Office pressed charges of mismanagement against two auditors from KPMG Bulgaria with regard to the bankruptcy of the Corporate Commercial Bank, Capital newspaper informs. According to the prosecutors, the two men deliberately let the bank’s CEOs neglect the management of the institution, which resulted in lower capital adequacy and liquidity crisis, the newspaper further specifies.

The government is to make large-scale changes in the country’s customs offices, Sega daily informs. The information stems from Premier Borissov’s announcement, which reads that the Bulgarian Customs Office has to convince him by next Wednesday that their border-control system was reliable. The critics of the country’s Prime Minister are quite surprising, because the revenues to Bulgaria’s treasury in the first trimester of 2015 are EUR 410 million more, as compared to the same period last year.

Sofia starts the construction of 7 new subway stations this autumn, 24 Chassa daily informs. Fourteen Bulgarian and foreign companies have applied to carry out the construction works. A public procurement order for the delivery of 20 new trains, which are to be used by the new metro line, was also initiated.

All who do their political campaigning in their mother language may spend up to three years in jail, Trud daily informs. The Patriotic Front, which is one of the Parliamentary Represented parties that support the current cabinet, proposed an amendment to the law, which would envisage a fine of EUR 5,000 to 10,000 and three years in jail for those who make election campaigns in any other language different from the Bulgarian language. The patriots specified that the proposed amendment did not only regard agitation in Turkish, but in Western-European languages, too. 

The Chairman of the Bulgarian Dental Association Borislav Milanov said in an interview for Sega daily, that the hidden unemployment in the country’s dental medicine is over 30%. There are over 9,000 dentists in Bulgaria. Their number is far below the European minimum threshold (1 dentist per 1,200 people). In Sofia, which has a population of 1,250,000 people, there are only 3,000 dentists, Borislav Milanov specifies.
