Bulgaria Completes Digital Services Act Implementation

November 2025 – Nearly two years after the Digital Services Act ("DSA") became applicable across the EU and amidst discussions on the "Digital Omnibus" simplification package announced by the European Commission, Bulgaria has finally aligned its national framework with DSA provisions.

On 6 November 2025, the Bulgarian parliament adopted amendments to the Electronic Communications Act ("ECA"), confirming the designation of the Communications Regulation Commission ("CRC") as the Digital Services Coordinator, vesting it with supervisory powers and the authority to certify out-of-court dispute settlement bodies and award trusted flagger and vetted researcher status, while also introducing comprehensive enforcement architecture.
