One good practice was recognized in the Bulgaria annex to the EU Anti-corruption report. It concerns the role of NGOs in fostering transparency and accountability in the judiciary and namely that is the BILI’s Transparent Judicial Appointments Initiative.
A high assessment has been given to the Transparent Judicial Appointments Initiative which BILI has been working on since 2011. The report accounts that the Initiative “facilitates public scrutiny of recruitment and promotion in the judiciary, and promotes integrity as a key element in such decisions. Using open sources of information, it publishes ethical and professional profiles of candidates who are allowed to have input in the assessment.” BILI’s efforts in the organization of public hearings have also been recognized. “The initiative aims,” states the report, “for more transparent and merit-based nominations of magistrates to management positions, as part of a modernized human resources policy within the judiciary, as recommended in CVM reports.”
