The declaration was submitted to the EP through Dushana Zdravkova who is a member of the EP Petitions Committee and a MEP from GERB, Sofia Mayor Boyko Borisov's party. It declaration was tabled a week ago to the chair of Bulgarian Parliament, the chief prosecutor's office, and the justice minister.
