"Tokom zadnje dvije godine, korupcija u javnim nabavkama i strateškim ugovorima za koncesije, pravosuđe paralizirano korumpiranim strukturama i zloupotreba sredstava EU posvećenih razvoju zemlje ... prepriječili su se uspjehu Bugarske, značajno naškodili njenom međunarodnom imidžu i umanjili povjerenje u institucije u zemlji."
"During the past two years, corruption in public procurement and strategic concession deals, a judiciary paralysed by corrupt structures and the misuse of EU funds dedicated to the country's development … have countered Bulgaria's success, heavily damaged its international image and reduced trust in national institutions."
