Summary/Abstract: The article comments on a sour subject in the Bulgarian cultural discourse – the theoretical possibility of the substitution of the millenary old Bulgarian script – the Cyrillic to be replaced by the Latin transliteration. The question arouses at the beginning of the new century when Bulgaria was going to become a member of EU. A prominent researcher in the field of Bulgarian studies, the Austrian professor Otto Kronsteiner promoted the idea, attracting the attention even of some Bulgarian authorities. The author juxtaposes opposing views on the issue and their media, stressing that the Latin transliteration even be permissible in some levels of communication, in no case may have to be a substitute for the Bulgarian alphabet.
