Bulgarian Flag

Bulgaria is a state in Southeastern Europe, borders five other countries. It is bordered by the Black Sea to the east. Sofia is the capital and the largest city of Bulgaria. The flag of Bulgaria is a tricolor consisting of three equal-sized horizontal bands of white, green and red. The flag was first adopted after the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), where Bulgaria gained independence. The national flag at times was charged with the state emblem, especially during the People's Republic of Bulgaria. The current flag was re-established with the 1991 Constitution of Bulgaria and was confirmed in a 1998 law.
