Bulgaria’s Prosecutor General Sotir Tsatsarov is on a working visit in Ankara at the invitation of his Turkish counterpart Mehmet Akarca.

The main talking points between the two include cooperation in the sphere of criminal law and the fight against organized crime, with a focus on the idea of creating a consultative forum of prosecutor generals from the Balkan countries. The format aims to promote and improve cooperation among the Balkan countries by holding regular meetings and exchanging good practices.

This is the fourth meeting between the prosecutor generals of Bulgaria and Turkey after the signing of the cooperation agreement between the prosecutor’s offices of the two countries in June 2014.
