“The list of individuals and companies compiled after the USA announced it was imposing sanctions under the Global Magnitsky sanctions programme aims to minimize the risks to this country - politically and economically,” Caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev stated during the segment of today’s Security Council meeting that was open to the media.

“We must protect the state-owned companies from the imposition of financial sanctions! To do this we must prevent bank transactions towards the individuals under investigation so as to prevent the blocking of businesses and state–owned companies.”

Stefan Yanev called on the new parliament to adopt a law that will regulate such a sanctions regime. The Bulgarian prime minister pointed out that receiving information about corruption from other countries is an extremely worrying sign for the country’s international prestige, BNR’s Tsvetelina Stoyanova reports.
