Bulgaria’s government has decided to pay compensation to Simeon Saxe-Coburg Gotha and his sister Maria-Luisa Chrobok, children of King Boris III and Queen Giovanna of Savoy, following a judgment against the state by the European Court of Human Rights. Simeon Saxe-Coburg Gotha and his sister Maria-Luisa Chrobok will receive EUR 1.636 million. They sued Bulgaria in the European Court of Human Rights over a 2009 moratorium on the commercial use of woodlands that belonged to the Crown and was inherited by them.
In the first instance, the Sofia City Court fully upheld the state's claims in the case concerning the ownership of 16,500 hectares of forests in Rila. However, since the decision is not final, at this stage the state should pay the compensation awarded by the European Court of Human Rights.
