Bulgaria’s Supreme Judicial Council authorized its member Dimitar Uzunov to ask the EC to lift the monitoring in the county’s judicial system. Dimitar Uzunov will raise that issue on Friday at a meeting with EC Deputy Secretary General in charge of Institutional and Administrative Policies Paraskevi Michou. Bulgaria has been constantly changing its legislation or even its constitution during the 10 year period when that country has been subject to EU monitoring. However, the country’s magistrates have not been able to enforce the multiple amendments. Besides, confidence in Bulgaria’s judicial system has deteriorated in that period, the Supreme Judicial Council contends.
