On October 10, I will hand over to the "State Archive" my personal archive, which is not small at all. Ivan Kostov, Prime Minister of Bulgaria (1997–2001), said this to BTV.
"Unfortunately, Bulgaria's entry into the European Union came down to the absorption of European funds."
"It's not good for public discussion when keywords are emptied of content. The word Euro-Atlanticism is on this path - it is being emptied of content."
In society, the attitude has changed, he believes.
"You cannot govern the entire country with 70-80 deputies. You can't manage it for decades," added Kostov.
"The problem now is the heavy defeat of the mafia system on the judiciary. Prosecutors and judges behave in an arrogant manner," revealed the Prime Minister (1997-2001).
No one heard me when I called DPS a curse for Bulgaria, he added.
"The president cannot properly understand his role in the country. He is already in his second term in office and often enters the political sector, where he does not belong. He should not get involved in party relations", he commented.
"And GERB, and PP-DB, and DPS and all other parties that will enter the National Assembly must realize that it depends only on them to have a cabinet, no one else," concluded Ivan Kostov.
