He pointed out that Bulgaria is affiliated to the activity of the RCC for the establishment of which it worked actively.
Kyuchoukov noted that there is a developed programme prepared by Bulgarian authorities for cooperation in the main directions of the council's activity - energy and infrastructure, security, economic and social development, justice and home affairs, as well as generation of human capital.
Later in the day Predrag Vujicic, a Council Expert on Justice and Home Affairs, told Bulgarian law enforcement experts that the organizations priorities include improvement of data protection and the system of electronic justice in the region.
At a meeting hosted by the Interior Ministry, Vujicic noted that these priorities also feature the creation of a justice monitoring and assessment tool.
