Summary/Abstract: The paper presents some issues and perspectives before the EU legislation concerning the protection of ''whistleblowers'' with the emphasis on its implementation in Bulgaria. Constituting a unified European model for whistleblowers protection is still in its initial phase. The nature and specifics of ''whistleblowing'' concept are discussed, among which its sociocultural context, influence on the legislative initiatives and practices as well as on the conditions that induce the necessity of transposing of the Directive (EU) 2019/1937. Internal and external forms of whistleblowing are distinguished. The paper traces the advance of the transposition of this Directive in Bulgaria mainly by the preparation of Draft Law on Protection of Persons Issuing Signals and Publicly Announcing Irregularities and Violations.
