Bulgaria`s Radev: Romania`s corruption combat model has proved efficient

The Romanian model in the fight against corruption has proved efficient, and Bulgaria should take over principles of it in order to drastically reduce corruption, Bulgaria's President Rumen Radev said Wednesday at the Cotroceni Presidential Palace in Bucharest.

He praised Romania for corruption sentencing and property returning. "The Romanian model is successful," he said.

Radev added that Bulgaria cannot copy the system, but it can find inspiration from it.

"We have to take over such principles so as to drastically curtail corruption in Bulgaria," added Radev, saying that he has President Iohannis's backing.

Radev was on an official visit to Romania at the invitation of President Iohannis.
