Today marks the 144th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of the Principality of Bulgaria, known also as the Tarnovo constitution.

Drafted by Bulgarians educated at foremost European universities, the Tarnovo constitution was innovative and advanced for its time, asserting equality for the citizens, private property, freedom of speech, freedom of association and other democratic principles.

On 4 December, 1947, after the communist coup in Bulgaria, the Tarnovo Constitution was replaced by the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria.
