Abstract: The paper presents the current economic and social regional performance in Bulgaria. It is aimed at outlining the regions’ differences in the country and giving relevant recommendations how to narrow this disparity in the future development. The purpose of the regional progress is to achieve faster economic progress and cohesion in order that the country catch up sooner with the average EU level of economic development. Three basic aspects of the regional disparity are considered: demographic, social and economic. The efficiency of the national policies for regional development in Bulgaria as well as the opportunity given by the EU funds are discussed in view of achieving considerable progress in the regional cohesion in Bulgaria and the country's efficient EU integration.
