"Vazrazhdane" submitted a bill to amend the Law on Religious Denominations

"Vazrazhdane" party on December 30 submitted a bill to amend the Law on Religious Denominations, the party announced.

The proposed change aims to prevent the possibility of registering more than one Orthodox Church as a legal entity using the designation "Orthodox" in its name, the party added.

Earlier today, it was revealed that the Council of Ministers had expressed a negative opinion regarding the registration of the Bulgarian Orthodox Old Calendar Church.

The Directorate of Religious Denominations at the Council of Ministers has repeatedly issued negative opinions regarding the registration of the Bulgarian Orthodox Old Calendar Church.

In the position of the Council of Ministers, it is stated that the matter is legally regulated and the Orthodox religious institution should not seek registration through the courts.
