The Prosecutors’ College of Bulgaria's Supreme Judicial Council is to discuss, at its meeting next Wednesday, a letter by the head of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) Laura Kövesi requesting additional information about the Bulgarian candidates for European delegated prosecutors.

This is the first official confirmation that such a letter with such a request does exist. On Wednesday the EPPO press service stated for BNR’s Horizont channel that additional information has been requested for some of the Bulgarian candidates for European delegated prosecutors.  

According to a publication by Euractiv, the EPPO has remarks about seven of the candidates connected with their lack of experience in criminal law, their qualifications and their place in the judiciary.
