Bulgaria will have to reform its Ecclesiastical Bill before it becomes a full-right member of the European Union (EU) in 2007.
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted a new resolution with some recommendations to Bulgaria. The resolution says that Bulgaria should not interfere with the religious societies in the country.
PACE recommends that all religious conflicts are solved according to the canon.
Bulgaria will have to implement the new reforms by 2005 if willing to become an EU member in 2007.
