New Anti-Corruption Commission: Bar elects Milen Shopov, Tsarigradska nominates judge

The Bulgarian Supreme Bar Council has elected lawyer Milen Shopov to represent the legal profession on the newly formed Commission for Combating Corruption. The decision was made after a lengthy public hearing that lasted over seven hours, during which both candidates, Milena Kalcheva and Milen Shopov, presented their qualifications and visions.

Shopov's selection marks a significant step in the establishment of the anti-corruption body, which is intended to address and mitigate corrupt practices within Bulgaria. The process involved rigorous scrutiny of the candidates, reflecting the importance placed on the integrity and effectiveness of the commission's members.

The nomination of a judge by "Tsarigradska" (likely referring to a specific media outlet or group) for the commission also highlights the diverse representation sought for this crucial body. The inclusion of various professional backgrounds aims to ensure a comprehensive approach to tackling corruption from multiple angles.
