European Union threatens Bulgaria with entry delay
The EU spokeswoman said that the Commission respected the results of the Bulgarian parliamentary elections on Saturday, in which the previously opposition Socialists became the largest party but failed to obtain a majority of seats. "We call for a quick formation of the government, so that the necessary reforms can continue," she said. "There is no time to lose."
Bulgaria and Romania both are due to accede to the Union in January 2007, but that date can be postponed if reforms stipulated by the Union are not met - particularly in the matters of the judiciary and the elimination of corruption.
