Amendments to the Bulgarian Citizenship Act were recently introduced and will be deliberated upon by the Council of Ministers in the first week of 2010 and, then, by the legislature.
The amendments aim to eliminate middlemen from the process of obtaining citizenship and increase the number of citizenship to be granted every year to 30,000. This decision was driven in part because of a desire to curb the demographic crisis in country, which, according to statistics, indicates that the Bulgarian population is dwindling by about 32,000 a year.
Moldova has a small Bulgarian minority, which mostly resides in the south. According to the most recent national census (2004), there are about 65,000 Bulgarians in the country.
