Public trust among Bulgarians in the state prosecution has grown in 2010, show the results of a study announced Monday.
The study, conducted by the Prosecutor's Office and Transparency International and funded by the World Bank, show that trust in the state prosecution has grown with 11% compared with 2009.
On the other hand, results show that there is a growing concern among prosecutors about inadequate public support. 7% more prosecutors have stated that there is misunderstanding among the public about the institution's work.
Among the chief hurdles that prosecutors have pointed out in their work is inadequate legislation and pre-court proceedings.
More citizens have stated that there is public intolerance of corruption in Bulgaria, compared with 2009.
More than 50% think that the state prosecution can rely on public support in its work.
Analysts have commented that during this year the Prosecutor's Office has held a much more prominent public presence than in the past.
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Galina Toneva expressed concern at what she saw as still persisting scapegoating and finger-pointing at the prosecution when things in the field of justice do not work as fine as expected.
