The procedure for electing a new Prosecutor-General must be legitimate and transparent and based on objective rules and criteria, said President Rosen Plevneliev, who met today at 2 Dondoukov Boulevard with Supreme Judicial Council representative Anelia Mingova and chief inspector of the Inspectorate at the SJC, Anna Karaivanova. In this way, the President said, the next SJC would kick off with a high degree of public trust. The Presidential institution will play an active role and support the judiciary within its powers, the President said, adding that institutions should work in co-operation to produce more visible results.
