Bulgaria’s Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev has been invited to take part in a hearing at the European Parliament, organized by the EP’s LIBE Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group (DRFMG)
The sitting is to take place behind closed doors on 27 January. The LIBE monitoring group, which consists of 14 people, includes representatives of every political group in the European Parliament.
