The bulgarian army – from the warsaw pact to NATO (some problems of the military reform)

Abstract

The reform of the Bulgarian has progressed with difficulties, following the logic of the political process and looks for the foundation of national understanding of state’s priorities, including in the field of defence. The significance of the problems in the process of reformation of the Bulgarian armed forces is getting a more outlined form through following its historical importance and development. In the process of building stated democratic institutions the society needs the implementation of this military reform for the creation of a new army. Shaping the military reform concept is a result of a dispute between BSP and UDF. The transition period was accompanied by a waste of the military human potential.
