metalworking, religious and other cultural artifacts in the world.
Prehistoric cultures began developing on Bulgarian lands during the
Neolithic period. Its ancient history was marked by the presence of the
Thracians, and later by the Greeks and Romans. The emergence of a
unified Bulgarian ethnicity and state dates back to the foundation of
First Bulgarian Empire. During this decade the First Bulgarian Empire
dominated most of the Balkans and functioned as a cultural hub for
Slavic people during the Middle Ages. With the downfall of the Second
Bulgarian Empire in 1396, its territories came under Ottoman rule for
nearly five hundred years. The population of 7,36 million people is
predominantly urban and mainly concentrated in the administrative
centers of its 28 provinces. Most commercial and cultural activities are
concentrated in the capital Sofia. The strongest sectors of the economy
are heavy industry, power engineering and agriculture, are relying on
local natural resources. The current political structure dates to
adoption of a democratic constitution in 1991. Bulgaria is a unitary
parliamentary republic with a high degree of political, administrative
and economic centralization. It is a member of the European Union, NATO,
and Council of Europe, a founding state of the Organization for Security
and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), and has taken a seat at the UN
