SOFIA, 20.01.2023 10:59 (BTA) Bulgaria has been struggling on a daily basis for over 30 years to achieve the rule of law standards, said here on Friday caretaker Justice Minister Krum Zarkov during the Law and the Business Environment in Bulgaria conference, organized by the American Chamber of Commerce in Bulgaria. According to Zarkov, Bulgaria has made huge progress, but there is much left to be accomplished. "I have the honour and responsibility to lead one of the main missions within the caretaker Government, which was not to allow political turmoil delay us on the path we have chosen. Many important bills were drafted for this purpose," he said. According to the caretaker Justice Minister, politicians have no right to waste the Bulgarian public's time. He noted that given the current political situation, the adoption of legislation depends on two factors – time and political will. He said there is will, because it is present in "the public opinion about Bulgaria". The best guarantee that these reforms will happen is that the Bulgarian public demands them, the caretaker Justice Minister said. /YV/ ROUMEN YANOVSKI, Justice Minister Krum Zarkov at the Law and the Business Environment in Bulgaria conference in Sofia, Jan. 20, 2023 (BTA Photo), source: https://www.bta.bg/en/news/bulgaria/393204-justice-minister-bulgaria-has-been-struggling-daily-for-30-years-to-achieve-rul
