Abstract
The present study assesses the relative importance of the principles of governance sustainability in Bulgarian farms. Based on the principles of governance sustainability, the alternatives for the application of the multicriteria analysis (AHP method) are derived. According to the obtained results for the stakeholders, „Working market environment and good private practices“ is the leading alternative with 61.9%. „Good legislation“ is also important with 19.8%, followed by the alternative „Democracy of governance“ with 18.4%. The results of the assessment according to the prevailing criteria pose many questions about the uncertainty and mistrust in the institutional environment presented by the legislative power and the democratic governance in Bulgaria.
