Corruption in Bulgaria has soared to its third highest peak in history, according to a recent report by the Center for the Study of Democracy

Suits may be filed at the Strasbourg court against all member-states of the Council of Europe with which the court functions. There are 47 member-states.
The top places in the ranking with the highest number of filed complaints for 2016 are occupied by Ukraine (22.8%), Turkey (15.8%), Hungary (11.2%), Russia (9.8%), Romania (9.3%), Italy (7.8%).
According to the information presented in the report, there is slightly more than one complaint per 10,000 Bulgarians – 1.23.
