Parts of the speech of Bulgaria’s Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, in Berlin are showing on the popular internet video sharing site YouTube.
Borisov delivered the speech Monday evening in the presence of 300 guests of the conservative political foundation “Konrad Adenauer.”
The video pokes some fun of Borisov’s description of the efforts of the Bulgarian cabinet to fight organized crime.
“And when they blew up Pukanic now it came up that Robert Matanic, Sreten Josic, all those who we extradited from Bulgaria, are suspects in Pukanic’s murder," Borisov is heard saying.
According to the PM there isn’t a killing where Bulgarian authorities did not make arrests, found witnesses or attempted to punish the perpetrators, but the problem is that the “law requires someone to come up as a witness and people are afraid because they are not certain the criminals will be indeed punished.”
“When people are scared, the judges than cannot issue a verdict. We are faced with this situation,” Borisov says.
“For the first time now the organized criminal groups cracked and began singing in jail; they weaned from “The Impudent”, went and showed us the corpses. We are solving now murders for hire. They go and show – here, in this meadow, there is a corpse, here somewhere we buried him. My colleague Tsvetanov digs and uncovers a corpse. And this is not a coincidence that our jails are now full,” Borisov shared with “Konrad Adenauer’s” guests while laughter can be heart in the background.
