The European Commission will not prepare an additional document for Bulgaria within the framework of the report on the rule of law in July. This is what European Commissioner for Justice, Didier Reynders, has told the BNR.

Last week Bulgarian Minister of Interior, Ivan Demerdzhiev, said that the Netherlands could request an additional report. The separate report should serve as basis for lifting the Dutch veto on Bulgaria's accession to Schengen, Demerdzhiev also said. However, European Commissioner Reynders said that the reports are prepared using the same methodology for all member states and added that the Commission had not received a request from the Netherlands for an additional report.
