Bulgaria is located in Southeastern Europe and is bordered by five countries: Romania to the North, Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia to the West and Greece and Turkey to the South.  The Black Sea comprises its entire Eastern border.  The country occupies a unique and strategically important geographic location. Since ancient times, Bulgaria has been a major crossroad between Europe, Asia and Africa. Five of the ten Trans-European corridors run through its territory.  Bulgaria is a democratic, unitary, constitutional republic.  Bulgaria joined NATO in 2004 and became a full member of the European Union on 1 January 2007.  The country has been a member of the United Nations since 1955 and is a founding member of OSCE.

Bulgaria has a population of over 7 million and its major cities are Sofia (the capital city), Plovdiv, Varna and Burgas.  Geographically and climatically, Bulgaria is noted for its diversity, with the landscape ranging from the Balkan Mountains to the mild Black Sea coast.  Bulgaria's major river is the Danube in the North.
