Information about Bulgaria

Bulgaria is located in southeastern Europe and has 378 km of coastline on the Black Sea in the east. Furthermore, the country is bordered by Romania in the north (608 km), Serbia (318 km) and Northern Macedonia (148 km) in the west, by Greece (494 km) in the south and by European-Turkey (240 km) ) in the southeast.
The Balkan Mountains run through the middle of Bulgaria from west to east. There is a fertile plateau between the Balkans and the Danube. This flat area in the northeast of the country is called the Dobruja and continues in Romania. The Danube forms the largest part of the northern border.
The Rhodope Mountains lie in the south. In the west there are the Rila with the highest point of Bulgaria (and the Balkan peninsula), the mountain Moesala (2925 m), and in the southwest the Pirin with the highest mountain the Vichren (2920 m).

In 2017, Bulgaria had 7,101,510 million inhabitants. In 2017 the population growth was -0.61%. About 74% of the population lives in the cities, with Sofia (1.2 million inhabitants), Plovdiv (340,000) and Varna (334,000) as the largest. The rest of the population lives in the sparsely populated countryside.
The population consists mainly of Bulgarians (77%). The largest minority group is Turkish (8%) followed by the Roma (Gypsies; 4.4%). Furthermore, there are still small groups of Macedonians, Armenians, Romanians, Russians, Jews and Tatars in Bulgaria. The situation of the Turkish minority deteriorated in the course of the 1980s. In 1984 the Turks were forced to adopt a Slavic name. Large-scale intimidation techniques were started in 1988, as a result of which hundreds of thousands of Turkish Bulgarians left the country and fled to Turkey. The number of Roma is probably larger, but for fear of discrimination, many Roma hide their ethnic origin.

The typical Central European continental climate with warm summers and cold winters is strongly influenced in Bulgaria by the Black Sea and the Balkan Mountains. Northern Bulgaria has a distinct continental climate, with hot summers and harsh winters. To the south of the Balkan Mountains, which form a climate separation, there is a softer climate and more and more Mediterranean traits are appearing closer to Greece.

Both the flora and fauna of the country is very diverse. This is due to the fact that Bulgaria is, as it were, a transitional area between a continental climate and a Mediterranean climate. From north to south we find successively the Danube Plain, the Balkan Mountains (Stara Planina), the Middle Mountains (Sredna Gora) with between them the Rose Valley, and the Thracian Plain towards Turkey and the Rhodopi, the Rila and the Rila Pirin Mountains in the direction of Greece and Macedonia.

In the last three decades Bulgaria has undergone a major transformation from a highly centralized, planned economy to an open, market-based economy with a higher middle income.
