The Republic of Bulgaria is situated in Europe, north east of Greece. Sofia is the capital. In 1946 it became a one-party socialist state. In 1989, the Communist party allowed multi party elections which led to Bulgaria becoming a democracy and moving away from communism.
From 1879, stamps were issued in Bulgarian Cyrillic script.
