Bulgaria should quickly deal with resurgence of criminal activity - EC.

By bne IntelliNews January 31, 2013
The recent attacks against MRF leader Ahmed Dogan and mobster Zlatomir Ivanov - the Beret are "clearly internal matters" that the Bulgarian authorities should address and resolve swiftly, Commission spokesperson Mark Gray said at a press conference, where he presented the special report on Romania. We remind that on January 19, the long-time leader of ethnic MRF, Ahmed Dogan, was threatened with pistol by 25-year old Oktay Enimehmedov and on January 28, the accused for drugs trafficking Zlatomir Ivanov was shot four times on his way to court. The government needs to implement a fundamental reform in the area of judiciary, the EC reiterated.

The next progress report on the country will be published at the end of the year.
