Good practices and innovative models of interaction between the administration and the citizens were discussed by municipal councilors, municipal administration officials and the media in Dobrich

Dobrich is among the ten cities, occupying good positions in the ranking of the Local Integrity System Index – 3, 31, on a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the highest possible positive score. The main contribution to this result comes from the high level of transparency and effectiveness in the activities of the local administration (4, 64), as well as the good indicators of activity of the mayor’s office (4, 30) and, to a certain degree, that of the Municipal Council (3, 53). The work of civil society organizations (3, 31) and the court (3, 32) also serves as a substantial contribution to the overall score of the municipality. An important role in the functional assessment of the local integrity system is played by the regional Prosecutor’s office, which in the past three years has had no investigation of corruption cases returned. A key deficit in their contributions towards the local integrity system is attributed to the media (2, 49), police (2, 50), business (2, 67) and political parties (2, 92). To further develop the potential for good governance, it is necessary to improve the potential of the District Community Council for counteraction of corruption, as well as the need for establishing a local ombudsman institution to be considered.
