Summary/Abstract: The majority of countries in the world include several ethnicities. Bulgaria is no exception to this fact. It is a task for each country individually to ensure conditions for life and development that do not cause conflicts between different ethnic groups. Ethnic groups are one of the forms of existence of the human community, which is faced with the manifestations of globalization, and this necessitates taking measures to ensure the security of citizens and the state. Modern legislation, both Bulgarian and international, enshrines the right of every citizen to define himself by nationality and religion, without violating the rights of other citizens and the sovereignty and integrity of the state.
