Association of the European Journalists (AEJ) in Bulgaria invokes an investigation and revision of the state funding for four Bulgarian media. The required inspection will have to check if there is any conflict of interests in the contracts of the Ministry of Culture with private companies and media concerning Bulgarian presidency of the Council of the EU in 2018. AEJ is shocked by the decision to spend public money by funding 4 connected media companies – 'Standard Daily', 'Standard Agency', 'Blitz Agency' and 'Pik Agency'.
