It studies the premises determining the changes in the economic structure of the regions in Bulgaria. It visions the structural changes (at regional level), which would favor the economic development, according to the real competitiveness and efficiency of the economy. The regional policy of Bulgaria is discussed from the aspect of the necessity of its subordination with the cohesion EU policy, and as such conformed to the specific of the development in Bulgaria. The paper outlines the need of formulating an understanding on what the sustainable regional development should be and how it will be inscribed in the whole regional policy. A sample method of measuring admissible differences between the regions is presented in the light of the sustainable difference. Some generalizations and conclusions are drawn at the end.
