Bulgaria Time and Date Bulgaria Government Back to Top Government: Strong central government, with system of nine provinces (consolidated in 1987 from 28 districts), run by people's councils with limited autonomy and authority over local services, publicly owned enterprises, and administration. After ouster of Todor Zhivkov in 1989, communist party retained control of government but titles of head of state and party chief were separated. First noncommunist government elected 1991. Since 1990, president was head of state, prime minister was chief executive and head of fourteen-member Council of Ministers (cabinet). Unicameral legislature (National Assembly, Narodno subranie) with 400 delegates; election law simplified in 1991 for direct representation by district. Legislative decision making slowed by distribution of seats between Union of Democratic Forces (UDF) and Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP; formerly Bulgarian Communist Party, BCP). Politics: Until 1989, BCP had complete control in oneparty system with only nominal opposition. Opposition parties legalized after Zhivkov ouster in 1989. In 1990 BCP/BSP lost control of Council of Ministers when internal splits and strong opposition forced resignation of its last government, replaced by caretaker coalition government representing major parties. UDF, coalition of over twenty parties and movements, assumed leading role in 1991; with Movement for Rights and Freedoms, it formed working legislative majority after 1991 election and controlled Council of Ministers. Numerous smaller parties, notably Bulgarian Agrarian National Union and Bulgarian Social Democratic Party, remained active.

WDR / Intelecon Regulatory News WDR Home Bulgaria: Government to sell 65% of telecommunications co mpany 30 January 2004 – According to a report by the Associated Press , on Friday, Bulgaria’s government announced that it will sell a 65% stake in the Bulgarian Telecommunications Company for EUR280 million to the equity fund Advent International Minister of Economy Lydia Shuleva said that the government-sponsored Privatisation Agency will sign the deal with Viva Ventures Holding, the Vienna-based unit of Advent, by February 20. Advent increased its initial offer by EUR20 million and promised to invest EUR700 million euros in the company over the next five years. It also agreed to cut only 4,000 of the company’s 24,800 employees over the next three years. It initially intended to cut 8,800 employees. The only other bidder was a consortium of Turk Telecom and Turkish industrial conglomerate Koc Holding, which offered EUR235 million. The Bulgarian Telecommunications Company is one of Bulgaria’s most valuable assets, and its privatisation is seen as a test of the government's ability to carry out reforms as it attempts to gain entry to the European Union in 2007.
