On December 16, the Legal Affairs Committee with Bulgaria’s Parliament will vote the proposal aimed at amending the Criminal Procedure Code and creating a special prosecutor authorized to investigate this country’s Prosecutor General. The government's draft was submitted at the request of the Venice Commission, an advisory body of Council of Europe, which monitors the compliance with the rule of law and democracy.

This is also confirmed by a decision of this country’s Constitutional Court of July 23, 2020, BTA reports.
