Bulgaria has appointed Vesselin Bozhkov as the new head of its Communication Regulation Commission (CRC). The move is seen as an immediate response to this week’s comments by the EC, which criticised the country for not allowing the telecoms regulator sufficient independence and threatened to start legal proceedings. Georgi Alexandrov, the CRC’s incumbent prior to Bozkhov, had continued in the role for a whole year after his term officially expired.
