Bulgaria/ 2. General objectives and principles of cultural policy 
2.3 Cultural policy objectives
Bulgaria is still at the beginning of the road towards democratisation of culture, but on the whole its national cultural policy objectives overlap with the principles of cultural development observed by the Council of Europe and EU member states:
- guaranteed freedom of expression;
- creation of conditions for equal participation in cultural life;
- preservation and promotion of the culture of different ethnic and religious minorities;
- support for cultural education; and
- support for international cultural exchange and intercultural communication.
