Abstract
The Ombudsman is a figure that appears for the first time on the legal stage in Sweden in 1713 year. In Bulgaria, only at the beginning of the 20th century, this figure found its place in the legal order with the drafting of the Ombudsman Act, and then with the consolidation of the institution in the Constitution of the Re-public of Bulgaria. The Ombudsman is a public defender, an independent guarantor of the rights, legitimate interests and freedoms of citizens, as well as of ensuring the effectiveness and legality of administrative activities.
