The ongoing European Commission monitoring of the Bulgarian judicial system should realistically close in 18 months, provided Bulgaria has done its job, Minister of Justice Ekaterina Zaharieva said in an interview for the Bulgarian National Television. She added that the findings of a Brussels prosecutor mission currently working in Bulgaria would not be decisive for the decision to remove monitoring.

Minister Zaharieva specified that the mission was an expert, not a political one.
