Етапи на развитие и договорноправна рамка на икономическите отношения между България и Русия

Economic relations between Bulgaria and Russia in modern history are influenced by many factors, among which the most significant are the social, economic and political environment in boh countries, but also in Europe and the global world. In this context the legal basis of the relations plays a significant role, giving the ways for the implementation, the priorities and the goals in these relations. The study outlines the three main stages in the history of the economic relations between the two countries. The paper then analyses the existing legal basis of the economic relations between Bulgaria and Russia, outlining its main deficits, as well as the prospects for its future development related to Bulgaria‘s EU membership and Russia‘s WTO membership. Some recommendations are made on the priority areas in which the legal basis should be further developed.
