The Center is an initiative of Transparency International-Bulgaria and is realized with the financial support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the French Republic. It is also a part of the project “Advocacy and Legal Advise Centres in South East Europe”, which includes the building of centers for legal advise and advocacy in a number of states in South East Europe. Such centers have already been created or are currently being set up in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Serbia, Georgia, Albania.
The establishment of this Center has been provoked by the necessity to improve the level of civil knowledge on the challenges, facing citizens in counteracting everyday corruption, as well as raising their awareness on the approaches and mechanisms for combating corruption at legislative and institutional levels.
The aim of the Center is to give an opportunity to the citizens to take an active part in combating corruption by providing them with free-of-charge legal advice and consultation in support of their efforts for pursuing corruption crimes, committed by public institutions or their officials.
A free-of-charge telephone hotline 0800 11 224 has been established for victims or witnesses of corruption crimes to refer their signals of corruption .
The activity of the Center is also aimed at increasing the capacity of public institutions in working with citizens when receiving complaints of corruption. In this context the efforts of the team of the Center are a part of the efforts for raising public trust in state institutions and the introduction of systematic improvements (legislative, administrative and institutional) in the fight against corruption.
