The Bulgarian state is expected to pay €1.6 million in compensation to the former king of Bulgaria, Simeon Saskoborgotsky, who won the case against his country in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).
Saxe-Coburg, who had reclaimed many of his properties from the state through court on the grounds that they belonged to the Tsarist family in Bulgaria 14 years earlier, has now filed a lawsuit in the European Court of Human Rights over the restriction of his access to some of his property. .
The European Court of Human Rights ruled in favor of Saxe-Coburg.
In line with the decision, if the former King of Saxe-Coburg cannot reach an agreement with the Bulgarian state within 6 months, the state will pay him 1 million 635 thousand 875 euros in compensation and cover the costs of the lawsuit.
Meanwhile, the Bulgarian state’s case against Saxe-Coburg continues over the 16,000 acres of forest claimed by the royal family on the country’s Rila Mountain.
– Litigation of the property of the royal family
The Communists, who came to power in a military coup in Bulgaria in 1944 with the support of the Red Army, declared a republican regime in the former Soviet Union (USSR) country after a mock referendum in 1946.
At that time, 6-year-old Saxe-Coburg was exiled abroad with his family.
After returning from exile in 2001 following the collapse of communism in Bulgaria in 1989, Saxe-Coburg founded a political party called the National Movement for Freedom and Ascent (NDSV), and was elected Prime Minister from 2001-2005.
During his premiership, Saxe-Coburg recovered several properties valued at more than $600 million on the grounds that they belonged to his family.
As a “savior” at the beginning of his political career, when it was understood that the main object of Saxe-Coburg was his “estate”, he first lost the support of the people and then had to dissolve his party.
Some of these properties were recovered by the Bulgarian state in the following years.
Bulgaria; Krechem had taken from the royal family another palace in Sitnyakovo and Sarigol and another near Varna.
The Tzarska Bistritza estates in the ski resort area of Borovetz and Vrana in Sofia remained the property of the royal family.
