PM: EU's Yellow Flag to Bulgaria Is Myth

Politics | June 4, 2005, Saturday

The EU constitution referendum results in France and the Netherlands gave birth to the myth of EU measures against Bulgaria, Prime Minister Simeon Saxe-Coburg said on Saturday.

The EU Commissioner for Enlargement Olli Rehn has not sent warning letters to Bulgaria yet, the Premier said during his visit to the town of Elena.

It is not unusual the European Union to monitor Bulgaria in its pre-accession process, Saxe-Coburg said.

On Thursday Olli Rehn stated that there is no strong link between the ratification of the EU Constitution and the enlargement process, but that Europe is confronted however with an enlargement fatigue.

He said that Romania and Bulgaria would receive respectively seven and five early warning letters underlying the urgent reforms to be done. These letters are a standard procedure of the EU monitoring and they are going to reach Bucharest and Sofia before the 16 June, Olli Rehn pointed out.

The Commissioner tried to reassure the acceding and the candidate countries by saying that a clear commitment of the EU leaders towards enlargement should be mentioned in the EU Summit conclusions, due on June 16-17.

What is the most important conclusion from the Sofia Mayor elections on November 15, 2009?
That the ruling party GERB of PM Borisov continues to be hugely popular, whereas the Socialists are pretty much out.

That the decline of the Socialist Party has stopped whereas the ruling party GERB has failed to attract the expected very high number of voters.

That the Sofia residents are either completely disillusioned with politics, or care little about who is Mayor.

That the record-high jackpot of the Bulgarian State Lottery "Toto" generated much greater interest than the Mayor elections.
