Bulgarian legislative reforms in migration and security

Overview

The Bulgarian Parliament has engaged in several legislative efforts to reform various regulatory frameworks. In mid-September, the National Assembly prepared to debate amendments to the Law on Foreigners. These proposals, including a bill from the Council of Ministers, aimed to align national law with European Union requirements by facilitating legal labor migration, protecting seasonal workers from exploitation, and digitizing administrative processes for residence and work permits.

By early October, legislative activity shifted toward the private security sector. The Parliament passed amendments to the Private Security Activities Act, which expanded the eligibility of individuals working in the sector by removing requirements that security roles be a person’s primary employment. The updated law also broadened the ability of legal entities to contract personal protection services for employees or officials facing threats and adjusted the composition of the Advisory Council for Cooperation on Private Security Activities.
