Bulgaria is among the countries where there exists a significant threat to media pluralism, as well as among the countries where there is a high risk of influence over editorial content by commercial and owner interests.

This is indicated in a report “Application of the Media Pluralism Monitor in the European Union, Albania and Turkey in the years - 2018-2019”, presented by the European Commission today, the Bulgarian news agency BTA reports. Data regarding Bulgaria also show a high risk to the political independence of media. Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey are the only three countries included in the study in which the independence of the heads of public-service broadcasters is most precarious.
