Mon, Sep 11 2006 13:43 CET 835 Views

A free anti-corruption telephone line would start functioning in Bulgaria as a project of Transparency International.

Bulgarians would receive information and advice from members of the association, Darik Radio reported. The number to be used is 0800 11 224 and would function every week day.

Transparency International would also help people submit grievances but the association would not deal with anonymous aid requests.

Darik reported that Transparency International would also monitor the campaigning for the upcoming presidential elections. One of the main factors to be supervised was campaign funding and the level to which the process was transparent.

According to law, candidates should spend less than two million leva on their campaigns. In case the association finds violations it would take the issue to the Prosecution.
