A new package of legislative reforms in Bulgaria focuses on children's court hearings, interrogations of victims of violent crime, the introduction of restorative justice and mediation in criminal proceedings, as well as ways to empower crime victims and expand their rights.

The Ministry of Justice published the package of legislative changes on its website on February 10.
