The position is argued that ID No. 1/2002 of the General meeting of the Criminal board of the Supreme Court should be considered to have lost its meaning. The main idea advocated is that the proposed understanding of the law would achieve the legal protection and disciplinary effect of the norm of Art. 63 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Code, and the up-to-date established practice of the application of the provision should be decisively abandoned.Item Legal Protection of Forests Under Secondary Law of the European Union(Plovdiv University Press, 2024-05-06) Penchev, GeorgiThis study is dedicated to legal protection of the forest under secondary law of the European Union.

On the basis of social and historical experience in Europe, the paper argues that the parliamentary model provides better guarantees against authoritarian and one-man political regimes. The point is that there has been a rejection of the presidential model in postwar Europe, and even in France and Finland the emphasis is again on political accountability of the executive to parliament. The great exception, the success of the presidential republic in the United States, is due to national characteristics absent in Europe. The predominance of personal, authoritarian, and totalitarian regimes and the fragility of the democratic tradition are highlighted in a brief overview of Bulgaria's constitutional development. On this basis, the author argues that only parliamentary republics are a guarantee of sustainable democratic development.Item Aspects of the Concrete Review of Constitutionality(Plovdiv University Press, 2024-05-06) Deliev, BlagoyThe latest constitutional amendments, indirect access to the Constitutional Court has been expanded with. The new constitutional text regarding concrete constitutional review raises a number of questions. The most significant shortcoming of the adopted new version is that it lacks an express obligation to suspend the proceedings by the referring court. The article highlights some of the possible problems that jurisprudence will face. At this stage, they cannot be resolved by mandatory interpretation.Item Public Danger as a Criterion for Distinguishing Administrative Violations from Crimes(Plovdiv University Press, 2024-05-06) Hadzhiyska, PetyaThe present article discusses public danger as a criterion for distinguishing administrative violations from crimes from some crimes when the object is the same public relations. Despite the interpretative practice, certain contradictions are still observed when distinguishing administrative violations from crimes, when the acts (actions and omissions) are described in an identical manner in different administrative laws and the Special Part of the Criminal Code. In this regard, the author appeals for legislative changes and a reassessment of public relations, including by dropping their criminal protection.Item On the Balance between Freedom of Will and Justice in the Right to a Reserved Share(Plovdiv University Press, 2024-05-06) Datsov, VladislavA manifestation of the civil principle of freedom of will in inheritance law is the freedom of testament. The testator, however, is not entirely free in his decision which persons to bequeath their estate to, nor what part of their estate to bequeath. The testator is restricted by the institute of the reserved share, which is in favour of the persons in closest family relation with the testator. The current article analyzes critically the limitations to the freedom of testament, stemming from the right to a reserved share, to answer the question whether they are justified. Proposals are made for the improvement of existing legislation in order for a better balance to be struck between the two competing priinciples – freedom of testament and the protection of the persons in closest family relation with the testator.Item The Place of the Presumption of Causation in Tort Law(Plovdiv University Press, 2024-05-06) Goleva, PolyaThe article examines the meaning and place of the presumption of causation in Bulgarian tort law. I make the conclusion that it is reasonable and fair the presumption to find a wider place in the field of unlawful caused damages, because it eases the evidential burden (onus probandi) of the injured persons.
