Bulgaria: Opinion on the Draft Act on the Registration of Foreign Agents

The main purpose of this Opinion is to analyze the Draft Act on the Registration of Foreign Agents (Draft Act) in Bulgaria, which although rejected by the Parliament on 5 February 2025, may be reintroduced in its existing or similar form. The present analysis aims to provide an overview of the key human rights concerns stemming from this draft legislation from the perspective of international human rights standards and OSCE human dimension commitments, primarily the rights to freedom of association and freedom of expression, but also other rights, including the right to respect for private life, the right to participate in public affairs, and the right to non-discrimination.
