strong and irrevocable results, for a full establishment of an anti corruptive culture
of governing;

-
-
-
Has exercised determinately its legal powers administrative provisions and
bringing cases at the Prosecuting Authority, pursuant to the law, against officials
who have refused to declare their private interests, who have concealed their
assets or have made false declarations or who have violated the law regarding the
conflict of interests;
Has shown a good will and has become a pioneer in strengthening the interinstitutional cooperation with liable and specialised structures in the fight against
corruption and economic crime in the country as well as abroad;
Has proceeded with training sessions with entities foreseen by the law, with

conflict of interest in public institutions;
It should recommend the necessary amendments in legislation in settling juridical
-
-
-
-
-
consequences deriving by situations of conflict of interests and punishing officials
or people involved, who are responsible for this conflict of interest;
It should strengthen public relations as well as promoting its activity, with the

examples and also increase the public trust in the efficiency of its anti corruptive
mechanisms;
It should strongly and determinately require from the authorities of penal
prosecution the effective proceeding of officials disclosed by it of being involved
in conflict of interest or in assets’ concealment;
It should publicly or directly inform the Assembly about cases when liable
authorities, correspondingly the General Prosecution, the High Council of Justice
or the Ministry of Justice neglect work or have a low performance in prosecuting
and punishing cases of conflict of interest or assets’ concealment that have been
disclosed by it;
It should strengthen instruments of administrative investigation, especially in
public life sectors, in which corruption is more expanded and the public trust is
lower;
It should proceed with the strengthening of cooperation and support of the civil
society, media and the public at large for providing information with regard to
charges about law violation related to the declaration of private assets interests or
as well as about cases identifying conflict of interests.
