"Although their merit can only be assessed in the light of their effective contribution to the fight against corruption and organised crime once they are implemented, Bulgaria's recent efforts demonstrate a growing recognition that substantial and far-reaching reforms are required," the EC said.
"Premda je njihove zasluge moguće mjeriti samo njihovim stvarnim doprinosom borbi protiv korupcije i organiziranog kriminala nakon implementacije, najnovija nastojanja Bugarske pokazuju porast stupnja razumijevanja nužnosti značajnih i dalekosežnih reformi", navodi EC.
