The Minister for the Bulgarians Abroad disclosed his plan for the
amendment of citizenship law. The main points of the proposal include
a facilitated procedure for the naturalisation of foreigners who
graduate from Bulgarian universities as well as the restoration of
citizenship to former citizens (and their descendents) who
involuntarily lost their Bulgarian citizenship due to the loss of
territories following the Paris Treaty of 1947. The amendments are currently under discussion.
