POLITIQUE DU PATRIMOINE
La politique bulgare du patrimoine culturel est définie et mise en œuvre par le Conseil des ministres. Le ministre de la Culture est responsable de l’application de la politique gouvernementale dans le domaine. Il est aidé en cela par les autorités nationales et municipales compétentes, le saint-synode de l’Eglise orthodoxe bulgare, les organes représentatifs des autres religions déclarées et la société civile.
Les objectifs stratégiques en matière de gestion et de conservation du patrimoine culturel sont définis dans la Stratégie nationale de développement de la culture, à l’issue d’un large débat public associant les organisations scientifiques et culturelles intéressées, ainsi que les entités juridiques à but non lucratif et les cultes enregistrés. Une stratégie nationale (dont le nom complet est « Stratégie nationale pour le développement des arts, des industries culturelles et créatives, du patrimoine et du tourisme culturels ») est sur le point d’être adoptée. Le secteur non gouvernemental a été largement associé à son élaboration. La protection du patrimoine culturel et la promotion de son potentiel en tant que facteur de développement durable ont été définies comme objectifs stratégiques. La participation des autorités locales à la protection des biens culturels est essentielle, que ce soit par l’amélioration des outils de gestion ou l’activation de partenariats public-privé.
