Four lawmakers from the ruling majority are to set off for Brussels Tuesday with a mission to elucidate the constitutional amendments recently adopted.

Socialists' Mihail Mikov and Yanaki Stoilov, Simeon II National Movement's Mincho Spasov and Movement for Rights and Freedoms' Lyutvi Mestan have packed up for a series of urgent meeting with EU experts.

Bulgarian Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev has assigned the Bulgarian MPs with the task to make clear the essence of the so-called third amendment to the Constitution approved few weeks to meet EU-bound engagements in the judiciary field.

Yanaki Stoilov chairs also the parliamentary legal committee, which is also to adopt changes to the Judiciary Law.

Following a stern remark by Enlargement Commissioner Oli Rehn on the unclear constitutional identification of judiciary's independence, the EU official has admitted the EC does not have experts in constitutional law.

Changes to the Constitution are key for completing the judiciary reform in the country ahead of its planned accession on 1 January 2007.

Sofia has insisted there was a misunderstanding on the amended law.

Whether the misunderstanding was rectified will probably be known at the end of this week when EC chief for enlargement Olli Rehn is to come on a visit here.
