Toni is helping Advocates open a Rule of Law Institute in 1999 and has recommended a lawyer to serve as its director. Toni was active in organizing churches to provide relief for Kosovar refugees during the Balkan war. The Institute is now the second largest law group in Bulgaria and has 22 on-going projects at this time. The Parliament, however, is considering a law that may change that. The Institute is engaged in the legislation.
