Council of Ministers of Bulgaria, Government body in Sofia, Bulgaria
The Council of Ministers is Bulgaria's executive authority, housed in a building within the central Largo complex in Sofia. The structure serves as the hub where government decisions are coordinated and national policies are put into practice.
The Council of Ministers was established on July 5, 1879, forming the central administrative authority of the Bulgarian state. Its creation marked the beginning of Bulgaria's modern government structure following independence.
Ministers who join the Council temporarily suspend their parliamentary positions, reflecting Bulgaria's approach to separating executive and legislative powers.
The building sits in central Sofia's busy area and is part of the expansive Largo complex, easily reached on foot. Visitors should know that access may be restricted and it is worth checking ahead about viewing opportunities.
Ministers without portfolio serve in the Council to maintain political representation, even without managing specific administrative departments.
