Lobbying in Bulgaria remains largely unregulated and much of it happens behind closed doors and beyond public scrutiny. As a result, there is no commonly shared understanding among the expert community and the public as to what lobbying is and what its legitimate and acceptable forms are. “Lobbying” has thus become a term used to explain any practice or phenomenon that remains non-transparent, non-public, “behind the scenes” in the political-institutional process in Bulgaria.
