Bulgaria is a unitary republican state. The Constitution introduces the principle of local self-government (Art. 135-146). The Act on the administrative and territorial organisation introduces a two-level division of the territory of the state:
● 28 provinces (област),
● 266 municipalities (община).
The legal framework of the administrative division is regulated in the Constitution and in the following legal acts: the Act on the administrative and territorial organisation of the Republic of Bulgaria and the Act on self-government and local administration.
