The contestation of administrative acts is a fundamental legal procedure through which the rights and legitimate interests of citizens and legal entities in Bulgaria are protected. The Administrative Procedure Code (APC) and the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria (CRB) establish the framework for this protection, providing two primary methods of contestation: administrative and judicial review. The purpose of this article is to examine these two methods in detail, focusing on their legal foundations, procedures, time limits, and the consequences they entail for the affected parties.
