Balgarianovinite.com President Iliana Iotova held a meeting on Friday with the Director General of Human Rights and Rule of Law of the Council of Europe, Gianluca Esposito, the President’s Press Secretariat said.
The talks focused on the constructive dialogue with Bulgaria and the country’s commitment to executing the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights in the OMO Ilinden group of cases against Bulgaria.
The OMO Ilinden-Pirin organization has been declared unconstitutional in Bulgaria for pressing for recognition of a Macedonian minority.
Iotova said that Bulgaria has created the necessary conditions to guarantee the right of association by adopting legislative, institutional and practical measures facilitating the registration of citizens’ associations. She reviewed developments on the matter since 2006 and noted the intensive, long-standing supervision by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.
The President expressed the expectation that supervision of the execution of the judgments would soon be closed, given Bulgaria’s efforts and the measures implemented to liberalize the registration process. “It is unacceptable to link technical requirements with political interpretations,” she said.
Head of the Department for the Execution of Judgments of the European Court of Human Rights Frederic Dolt also attended the meeting.
