Judiciary reforms, strengthening the effectiveness of courts and transparency of proceedings - these high-polished lines in each EU scolding report turned into shallow statements after I read a piece of news this morning. A court in Dobritch has forced an elderly lady to sell her apartment to carpet her neighbours for the installation of an elevator.
Elevating high the reliance on a justified decision, the lady woke up one morning with a court decision saying she has no other choice except to cover her share in the costs for the long-coveted elevator. No personal choice, no private property - she MUST pay... not to mention the asked sum of BGN 2400 is just a dream for a pensioner in Bulgaria.
Thus the power of majority subdued the individual making her have an elevator in the living room. Neighbouring in Bulgaria is a real phenomenon - believe me. Every apartment block is a scaled model of the complex economic and social labyrinth in the Bulgarian society. Private property collides with the so-called "neighbouring rights" where the majority will remain unchallenged by whatsoever personal opinion. Let's hope this apparent laming judiciary case would not be skipped by the watchdogs from Brussels - it does deserve second thoughts!

Boycott of Moscow's Victory Day Parade Helps New Iron Curtain Fall
The term “Iron Curtain” was not coined by Winston Churchill, but it was he who turned it into one of the symbols of the latter part of the twentieth century by using it in his famous Fulton speech of 1946.
Good Nationalists, Bad Nationalists and Pro-European Governments
Hardly anything could be said in defense of the new government's ideological profile, which is quite blurry; at the same time much can be disputed about its future "pro-European" stance.
