A functioning legal system is the key to ensuring investments and economic growth. This is the opinion shared by President Rosen Plevneliev and Dr. Winfried Bausback, justice minister of Bavaria.  The two held talks in Munich, where the Head of State is on a working visit. Dr. Christoph  Shrotz, prosecutor general of Bavaria, took part in the meeting. 

 

President Rosen Plevneliv said that the Bulgarian people are hoping to see a change in the institutions so that they work in their interest. In his opinion, such a change can be effected if e-government is introduced, which will curb corruption and ensure greater transparency. “Although we are reforming our legal system, what is most important is that the people feel that it is efficient and produces results,” the President said. 

 

According to Christoph  Shrotz, prosecutor general of Bavaria, consistency and continuity are necessary for a reform to be successful. The justice minister recalled that many elements of Bulgaria’s justice system have been borrowed from the German and many Bulgarian lawyers have a university degree from German universities.  Shrotz called on for continuing the many-year cooperation because it works well.

 

On 31 January President Rosen Plevneliev’s working visit to Munich will continue with meetings held with the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Bavaria and with the Minister of European Affairs and Regional Connections of Bavaria. Later the Head of State will take part in the official opening of the Security Conference which celebrates its 50th anniversary, which will be held in the capital of Bavaria.

In his speech, the president pointed out that Bulgaria highly values its relations with Iraq, which is an important partner in the Middle East region

Taking advantage of their geostrategic position, Bulgaria and Georgia have the potential to deepen their connectivity in various areas such as transport, energy, and the digital sector, which will contribute to promoting the economy, investment, and prosperity in the Black Sea region. This was stated by President Rumen Radev, who held a meeting with the Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili.

The two were unanimous that restoring peace in Europe through diplomacy is a priority for the EU and the only way to ensure the long-term security and stability of the Old Continent.

The President recalls that the institution of the Special Commercial Administrator (SCA) was introduced by an Act adopted in 2023, which also established a number of safeguards against potential abuse and arbitrariness — safeguards of the kind already adopted in other European states faced with similar circumstances, with the objective of minimising the risk of subsequent financial claims against the State
