Transparency International: Corruption in Bulgaria Is on the Rise
Politics | September 23, 2008, Tuesday
Transparency International has ranked Bulgaria 72nd in the world in its 2008 Corruption Perceptions Index.
Corruption in Bulgaria has increased according to the 2008 Corruption Perceptions Index of Transparency International.
Bulgaria's score has dropped from 4,1 in 2007 to 3,6 in 2008, which assigns it 72nd place out of a total of 180 countries.
The Transparency International report points out that Bulgaria's EU accession had not helped the country deal with its corruption at all, and in fact it was now on the rise.
Bulgaria is found to have serious issues with combating political corruption, which is linked to organized crime. The corruption in the country affects seriously the public procurement procedures, the concession contracts, and the legal proceedings, and is reported to be hindering Bulgaria's progress, and to be the main reason for EU sanctions.
Bulgaria is also ranked as the most corrupt country in the EU, followed by Romania. In the overall ranking, Romania is again one place ahead ranking 71st. Columbia, Ghana, Georgia, Cuba, Kuwait, Tunisia, and Croatia occupy the spots before Bulgaria, whereas the People's Republic of China is ranked 73rd and the Republic of Macedonia is 74th.
For a second year in a row Somalia is found to be the most corrupt country in the world with a score of 1. It is followed by Myanmar, Iraq, Haiti, and Afghanistan. With a score of 9,3 Denmark is reported to be the country with the lowest levels of corruption together with Sweden and New Zealand.

Esmeralda,
This forum is the wrong place for anything of a serious or important nature. Come back when you have some shuck n' jive stuff to offer. This is what these folks feed on, not anything from the heart.

That's the way it should be, not what proud wants to make out of it. SNA is the authority not you and you should learn to respect it.

Not sure what any of this has to do with prostitutes: they exist everywhere, even squeaky clean Denmark.
Anyway, not to say there is not plenty to sort out, but it could be worse for Bulgaria. Look at the Corruption Perception Index rankings for our neighbours from the region:
Greece: 57th
Turkey: 58th
Croatia: 62nd
Georgia: 67th
Romania: 70th (with Colombia)
Macedonia: 72nd with Bulgaria (also China, Mexico, Peru, Swaziland, etc...)
Albania, Montenegro, Serbia: 85th
Bosnia & Herzegovina: 92nd
Moldova: 109th
Ukraine: 134th
Russia: 147th
Belarus: 151st

"man gives away fortune to cat"
"woman returns gold ring she found in street"
"public servant refuses bribe of 2000000000leva"
"honest politician found!"
"policeman found working honestly"
"mutra becomes a priest"

Esmeralda, sounds like you don't live in BG. Get a grip on things, if this is what normal people can see on the net imagine what you cannot see or read on the internet.
There is no chance the BG Gov will do anything to stop any of these shady biz as they are "legitimate".
