The US Federal Judge, John Clifford Wallace, rated the time delay in the trail of case as the most concerning problem of the Bulgarian judicial system.

Judge Wallace made this statement in an interview for Sofia News Agency (Novinite.com).

"It is fair to say that Bulgarian judicial system has problems, but all our systems do have problems. When I point out problems I have to be fair that they have done some things which I figure quite admirable", he said.

In his words, there are many highly qualified judges and lawyers working in the Bulgarian judicial system. He is convinced that it just a matter of time, that it changes and becomes a more efficient one.

"The time delay in the trial of cases is unfortunate because when people have disputes and they bring them to court they do not want to wait years to get a determination... There is no reason for the great majority of cases to take years. They should only take weeks, instead of years".
