THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that:
(1) In the spring of 1990, Bulgaria held its first
round-table discussions and held its first free, demo-
cratic elections in June 1990;
(2) In August 1990, the Bulgarian Grand Na-
tional Assembly elected Dr. Zhelyu Zhelev as Presi-
dent of the Republic;
(3) On July 12, 1991 the Parliament of Bul-
garia adopted the new Constitution of the Republic of
Bulgaria, which proclaims that Bulgaria is governed
by the rule of law;
153
HR 4650 PP
(4) In addition, the Bulgarian Constitution es-
tablishes the principles of a market economy in Bul-
garia, including Article 17 which guarantees and pro-
tects the right to property and inheritance and pro-
claims the inviolability of private property, and Arti-
cle 19 which states that the economy of Bulgaria is
based on free economic enterprise;
(5) In October 1991, Bulgaria held its second
parliamentary elections;
(6) Since 1990, the Bulgarian Parliament has
passed more than 220 laws establishing legal protec-
tions for a free market economy including the Law on
Land Ownership, the Law on the Protection of Com-
petition, the Law on Commerce, the Law on Privat-
ization, the Law on Accounting and the Law on
Banking;
(7) The Bulgarian private sector has grown from
5 percent of GNP in 1990 to 22 percent of GNP in
1993, and by the end of 1993, 47 percent of Bul-
garian farm land had been returned to its owners
prior to 1948;
(8) In June 1990, Bulgaria established diplo-
matic relations with NATO and on February 14,
1994, joined the Partnership for Peace;
154

(9) Since October 1991, the Bulgarian minister
of defense has been a civilian and this practice is
scheduled to be institutionalized when the Bulgarian
Law on Armed Forces is adopted in September 1994.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Therefore, it is the sense
of the Congress that:
(1) The Republic of Bulgaria is making swift
and important progress to join the West and should
be strongly commended for its efforts.
(2) The Republic of Bulgaria is making signifi-
cant progress toward establishing democratic institu-
tions, a free market economy, civilian control of the
armed forces and the rule of law.
(3) As the President evaluates increased defense
cooperation with central and eastern Europe, Bul-
garia’s extensive reform efforts should be given every
possible consideration.
