Bulgaria–United Kingdom relations
Bulgarian–British relations are foreign relations between Bulgaria and the United Kingdom. Both countries established diplomatic relations in July 1879 as Bulgaria achieved its independence from the Ottoman Empire. The two nations were enemies during the First World War, most of the Second World War, and the Cold War.[1] Relations since 1989 have been very friendly between the two nations. Bulgaria has an embassy in London, and the United Kingdom have an embassy in Sofia. Both countries are full members of NATO and Council of Europe
