An official review of the inspection has not been provided, Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikolay Milkov said at a briefing. According to him, the inspection was successfully completed.

The report based on the inspection will be discussed at expert’s level on October 26. If the opinions were positive, a decision should be made in the Justice and Home Affairs Council on December 8 and 9, Milkov said.
