February 12 (BTA) - Bulgaria's Counter-Corruption and
Unlawfully Acquired Assets Forfeiture Commission (CCUAAFC) said
on Wednesday that it had ascertained a conflict of interest in
respect of three senior public office holders.

Peter Iliev, member of the Board of Directors of the Bulgarian
Energy Holding EAD and Executive Director of the National
Electric Company (NEK) EAD, made it possible for himself to draw
 a supplementary remuneration under his NEK EAD management
contract when he voted for the adoption of NEK's 2017 and 2018
annual financial statements and a report on the implementation
of the company's business plan, which allowed the payment of
supplementary remunerations to members of management.

Kolyo Dinkov, in his previous capacity as Rector of the
University of Food Technologies-Plovdiv, appointed himself a
project leader under an operational programme, for which he drew
 remunerations.

Tsvetomira Doncheva, in her former capacity as Director of the
Shoumen Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water (RIEW),
endorsed requirements for holding a competition for the office
of RIEW director in such a way that she herself met the
conditions.

At its meeting on Wednesday, the CCUAAFC instituted proceedings
for the ascertainment of a conflict of interest against the
Director of the Sofia Regional Health Insurance Find, acting on
an alert that her husband works at the same place and has been
appointed as part of her subordinate staff. RY/LG
