“This ranking of Bulgaria in the Corruption Perception Index shows a stable position of the country for 10 years, lastly in Europe and close to some African countries, but the problem is that this is the result of a certain way of functioning of institutions in our country.” Ognyan Minchev, Chairman of the Board of Transparency International, told in front of Nova Television.
“This is a structural phenomenon, which in practice refers to the overall institutional system of government of Bulgaria.” said Minchev.
