Agents of the former State Security should be disclosed when applying for a public position, the National Assembly voted.

Those who were agents of the former State Security, should announce it whenever they are subject to an inspection. "Every time a person is a candidate for a public office and there is information about their affiliation with the former security services, this must be reported," Atanas Slavov said. The BSP and Vazrazhdane party MPs voted against the bill.
