SOFIA: Bulgaria?s parliament on Friday overturned a presidential veto on anti-graft legislation, clearing the way for the creation of a special unit to investigate individuals occupying high public office as well as assets and conflicts of interest.
?Today, by rejecting the president?s veto, our country will fulfill a commitment to the European Commission,? parliamentary group leader Tsvetan Tsvetanov told lawmakers. The moves allows the government to pursue plans to focus on improving control and accountability of law-enforcement agencies to try to change opinions and clean the Balkan country?s tarnished image during its EU presidency.Radev acted only a day after the European Union?s poorest country assumed the six-month, rotating presidency of the bloc for the first time since it joined the EU in 2007. According to Transparency International, Bulgaria is the EU?s most corrupt country.
