• In succeeding centuries, Bulgaria struggled with the Byzantine Empire to assert its place in the Balkans, but by the end of the 14th century the country was overrun by the Ottoman Turks. Bulgaria regained its independence in 1878, but having fought on the losing side in both World Wars, it fell within the Soviet sphere of influence and became a People's Republic in 1946. Communist domination ended in 1990, when Bulgaria held its first multiparty election since World War II and began the contentious process of moving toward political democracy and a market economy while combating inflation, unemployment, corruption, and crime. Today, reforms and democratization keep Bulgaria on a path toward eventual integration into NATO and the EU - with which it began accession negotiations in 2000.

• A far more characteristic trait of business practices in Bulgaria before the Western modernization attack, a trait that must have caused much more headache to the international institutions than the planned economy as such, is the lack of written rules of business practices and the importance of personal relationships in making business deals. This system, sometimes described as "patriarchal" in discussions in Bulgaria, left no chance to Western corporations at the beginning of the 90ies to enter the Bulgarian market under their conditions. They were always dependent on intermediaries who not only spoke Bulgarian and were familiar with Bulgarian business practices, but who had also in long years of practice woven a net of contacts and relationships without which it was, at the time, impossible to do business in Bulgaria. ...
