Bulgaria – Progress

October 10, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

Bulgaria has made tangible progress since 2014 in combating intolerance, introducing inclusive education, combating anti-Semitism, promoting Roma integration and helping refugees. However, hatred and prejudice against LGBTI people persist and must be combated and measures for the integration of refugees must be extended. These are the findings of the new report by the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) which covers the period from June 2014 to the end of March 2022.
