Anitta Hipper stated, at a briefing, that the European Commission was monitoring all events connected with rule of law including in Bulgaria, and that these events would be reflected in the upcoming report which would also include recommendations.

The decision to shut down the Specialized Criminal Court, the Appellate Specialized Criminal Court, the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office and the Appellate Specialized Prosecutor’s Office was voted definitively by parliament last week.
