BULGARIA FOREIGN MINISTER JELEVA UP FOR EU JUSTICE OR ENLARGEMENT COMMISSIONER

Bulgaria’s Foreign Minsiter, Rumiana Jeleva, is likely to get the position of EU Commissioner for Justice and Home Affairs in the European Commission.

Jeleva is up for the Justice and Home Affairs job against Slovakian designate Maroš Šefčovič, according to a post on the blog of Jean Quatremer, the Brussels correspondent of the French newspaper Libération, as cited by dir.bg.

Whoever of the two does not get the JHA position, is expected to become the EU Commissioner for Enlargement.

Quatremer’s post is based on a preliminary list of the distribution of the different Commissioner responsibilities by EC President Barroso.

“European Voice” has reported that Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Sweden were competing for getting the next EU Commissioner for Enlargement.

Enlargement and energy are the two top Commissioner fields for which the Bulgarian government aspires.
