Stejt department okarakterizirao je napore Rumunije u borbi protiv korupcije "općenito neefikasnima" i uputio bugarskoj vladi kritike zbog toga što nije "agresivno krivično gonila organizirani kriminal i korupciju u visokim krugovima".
The State Department described Romania's efforts in combating corruption as "generally ineffective" and criticised the Bulgarian government over its failure to "aggressively prosecute high-profile organised crime or corruption".
