Bulgaria has to establish the necessary conservation measures to maintain or restore the protected species and habitats to a favorable condition. So far Bulgaria has designated only 9 out of 320 Sites of Community Importance as Special Areas of Conservation territories within the required time limit and has generally and persistently failed to set site-specific detailed conservation objectives and measures for any of them.
