Balchik, Northeastern Bulgaria, July 17 (BTA) - Caretaker Prime
Minister Stefan Yanev said he expected lawyers to say if and how
 the grounds cited in a report calling for the early release of
Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev can take the form of a legal
proceeding. On Saturday, Yanev talked to reporters in Balchik
where he met with the municipality Mayor Nikolai Angelov.

Taking a question, Yanev said the reasoning behind such a
proposal must be seen first. "I am familiar with [Interior
Minister] Boyko Rashkov's alert, which is backed with certain
arguments," said Yanev, adding that lawyers must have their say.
 

The Bulgarians want to see a substantive judicial reform, not
just something to report abroad, the Prime Minister said. The
public's sense of justice, which is upheld by the judiciary,
must be restored. "This involves a much broader range of
issues," including the new parliament, he said. People expect it
 to form a stable majority with priorities, with clear
governance goals and a clear programme, parts of which are
already being discussed. In his view, however, trial and error
discussion is not the best option - what is needed is dialogue,
above all among the parliamentary parties. NV/DD
