Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to make representations to the government of Bulgaria following the report by the US Department of State, Bulgaria 2017 Human Rights Report, which stated that there were high levels of corruption and a lack of judicial independence in that country.

​The British Embassy in Sofia has long-standing engagement with the Bulgarian Government and other institutions on the issues raised in the report, both bilaterally and through the European Commission’s Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM).
