Abstract: The trio is a rotating presidency system within the context of the presidency of the Council of the European Union. It has a political significance because the heads of states and governments represent their country in the international arena and can show their policies to other member states. The rotating presidency has been on the agenda of the Union since the beginning, but the process of Trio has eventually changed and gained its last version by the Lisbon Treaty. The rotating presidency takes place every 18 months in the European Union and member states which are holding the presidency work together closely in groups of three. The Trio determines long-term goals and explains a common agenda of the three countries?.In this study, the structure and historical development of the rotating presidency system will be explained and the policies of Bulgaria which holds the presidency from 1 January to 30 June 2018 will be defined. As a result, it will be attempted to analyze the scope of the Trio system and contributions of president country to the policy-making of the EU.
