Statutory law

Bulgarians may be able to vote for a new president on the internet if a draft proposal backed by a majority of MPs passes into law.

A committee with Bulgaria's Parliament are set to discuss on Monday amendments to the constitutions that will pave the way for judicial reform, amid tensions between parties in the ruling coalition.

Justice Minister Hristo Ivanov stepped down last week after MPs amended last week the reform proposals, ones he had submitted and declared his main priority.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ) on Tuesday is to check on the legality of preventive measures in the ANRP (National Authority for Property Restitution) case with the former chief of the National Integrity Agency (ANI) Horia Georgescu and MPs Catalin Theodor Nicolescu and Marko Attila-Gabor involved.
