Partners
in Crime. The Risks of Symbiosis between the Security Sector and Organized
Crime in Southeast Europe
The penetration of the organized crime into the security sectors of the
countries in transition is one of the darkest aspects of the post-communist
transformations of states. The report is a necessary contribution to heightening
public awareness of the considerable risks arising from criminal partnership
within the security sector in Bulgaria and the Western Balkans and the
need for measures to counteract and prevent it.

Weapons
under Scrutiny
The report concludes that despite the evolution of Bulgaria’s arms
export controls and its relatively clean record, compared to most of the
1990s, there is still room for improvement. The best approach to tackling
all the issues raised in this report is through stricter implementation
of the new export control mechanism.

The
Drug Market in Bulgaria
The analysis looks into the genesis and structure
of drug distribution in Bulgaria, markets cartelization, hierarchy in
the drug networks and the role of the organized crime for developing these
markets. It also addresses the problem of drug abuse which was fueled
by the drug epidemic of the late 1990s and has grown to become a real
social threat. (CSD Analyses and Reports, 2003)
