An interim National Authority to coordinate compliance and implementation of Bulgaria’s obligations stemming from the Convention was established on 31 January 2012 in the form of an Inter-Ministerial Working Group chaired by the MFA and including representatives of other relevant ministries. A permanent National Authority will be established with a special Law which is currently under consideration.
The Ministry of Defense has undertaken the necessary administrative measures in order to separate, sort and deposit the cluster munitions in order to destroy them at a later stage. On 7 March 2012, the Minister of Defense issued an order for discharge of all cluster munitions from operational stocks for their subsequent destruction in accordance with article 3 of the Convention. Accordingly, on 20 March 2012, the Chief of Defense issued an order for decommission of all cluster munitions, their separation from munitions retained for operational use and their marking for the purpose of destruction.
A special Law on the implementation of the Convention on Cluster Munitions and possibly other International Humanitarian Law Conventions is currently under consideration. It will aim at explicitly transpose the provisions of CCM and other conventions into the Bulgarian legislation.
