"The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) stipulates that each country synchronizes its mechanisms for protecting these rights", Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev said at a conference in Sofia dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Bulgaria's accession to ECHR. "Expanding access to constitutional justice will strengthen the protection of human rights", Rumen Radev added.
