site.btaGERB: Sarafov's Resignation Is Dignified but Belated

The resignation of Borislav Sarafov is a dignified but belated personal act, according to a statement by GERB published on Facebook. The party said that institutions have always been their top priority.

“The most important thing now is for the new National Assembly to begin work immediately so that we can elect a new Supreme Judicial Council with broad consensus, which will ensure a professional and transparent selection of a new Prosecutor General,” the post says.

On Wednesday, ahead of a meeting of the Prosecutors Chamber of the Supreme Judicial Council, Sarafov withdrew his consent to serve as acting Prosecutor General, according to a statement published on the prosecution’s website.

In turn, the Prosecutors Chamber decided to approach Deputy Prosecutor General Vanya Stefanova to take over as Acting Prosecutor General.
