Foreign lawyers in Bulgaria lack their quantum of solace - The Sofia Echo reports

Wed, Nov 12 2008 10:34 CET byClive Leviev-Sawyer 271 Views

Foreign lawyers, led by practitioners from the UK and Austria, are complaining to the European Commission about Bulgarian law that they say deprives them of a level playing field to practice law. The issue of The Sofia Echo published on November 14 2008 has the full details.

Elsewhere in the newspaper, there are reports on Bulgaria's domestic political dramas and in our regular coverage of the South East European region, an update on the situation in Bosnia.

In the business section, The Sofia Echo takes a look at Bulgaria's new market in free daily newspapers, outlines what is going on with mutual funds in the context of the global financial crisis, and has reports on the latest in the tourism and property industries. In a report especially written for The Sofia Echo, AUBG professor Tamara Todorova examines the question of the culpability of bank managers for the global financial crisis.

In the features section, Rory Parsons holds forth on the subject of statues, while film reviewer Pavel Ivanov has in his sights the latest James Bond 007 film, Quantum of Solace.

As ever, The Sofia Echo includes popular favourites such as venue and restaurant reviews, listings of what's on at the movies, on television and in the world of theatre and arts and our weekly social pages.
