Restoring control on the "Kamchiya" rehabilitation complex and the freezing of Russian properties owned by sanctioned persons is envisaged in a draft bill by MPs of PP-DB, Ivaylo Mirchev and Nadezhda Yordanova. 

The bill also provides for the maintenance of a public list of sanctioned persons on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the purpose of which is to guarantee the rights of third parties. According to Mirchev, the legislative initiative is late, but necessary in view of Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine.

"In order for Bulgaria to fulfill its obligations regarding the implementation of these international restrictive measures, a specific law must be adopted," Mirchev wrote on Facebook.
