Balkan country among less rich of Europe. After the decades of the communist regime and the long dictatorship of Zivkov (practically to the government of the country from 1954 to 1989), Bulgaria has undertaken a process of democratization and a walk of economic improvement.
The modern Bulgaria is an ordered and civilized State , with modest but steady economic and social development and member of the European Community.
Despite the obvious improvement in economic conditions, the population is decreasing.
The capital Sofia is a beautiful city, with great museums and interesting orthodox churches, especially the Cathedrals of Sveta Nedelya and Alexander Nevsky.
Other cities in the country are full of charm, like Plovdiv and Veliko Tarnovo.
The seaside on the Black Sea in recent years has become very busy and bustling.
