“The political will to close down the specialized court and the specialized prosecutor’s office is not going to change,” Minister of Justice Nadezhda Yordanova said in an interview for the BNR. The Ministry of Justice’s draft amendments to the Judicial System Act have been published for public discussion, and in March will be voted in parliament.
Every case in trial phase will be heard and closed without any problems, Minister Yordanova stated. In her words the details are being specified regarding how the Anti-Corruption Commission will function from now on, especially with regard to its investigative functions. Nadezhda Yordanov commented further that the EU has voiced concern that investigations in Bulgaria take too long, especially of certain cases.
