Bulgaria is a country with rich cultural and archaeological heritage since Roman and Byzantine times. Significant number of cultural monuments are located on the territory of the country and are officially recognized as “world cultural heritage” by UNESCO. In this regard, the failures of Bulgarian cultural heritage protection will be a threat to the world cultural heritage protection. The main objective of the study is to propose measures for the development of management and control effectiveness of cultural heritage protection carried out by the public administration (the staff of the Bulgarian Ministry of Culture).
