Bulgaria is ‘on the right track against corruption and organised crime’
29 July 2010
"German journalist Jurgen Roth has something good to say about the Balkan nation's fight against corruption and organized crime."
""Prime Minister Boyko Borisov has definitely brought positive change to Bulgaria," Roth told Deutsche Welle, but added that the government still lacks the political will to change in many spheres."
"Roth stressed that one of the most serious problems in Bulgaria is the lack of freedom of speech and the press, an opinion shared by most of the Bulgarian colleagues with whom he has spoken. According to him, this means the civil society cannot develop because freedom of speech is an integral part of its development."
"Roth asserted that one of Borisov's priorities for the next year must be to create a strong civil society and pointed out that to achieve this the corrupt structures must completely come down."
