  • Advancement of the Modern State Through Education: Bulgarians at Robert College 1863-1912
    Advancement of the Modern State through Education: Bulgarians at Robert College 1863-1912 Paulin Draganova June 2, 2018 Draganova 2 INTRODUCTION In the struggle of Bulgaria preceding the independence and after, the education Bulgarian students received at Robert College influenced the future direction of Bulgaria as a nation-state. The opportunity that Robert College provided was unique and appealing to Bulgarian students because of the location of the college and the quality of its education. Konstantin Stoilov, Stefan Panaretov, Todor Ivanchov, and Ivan Bagarov exemplify the types of men that graduated Robert College and actively had the opportunity to impact Bulgaria through their careers. Robert College’s qualities as a college that was American and taught curriculum that was American provided the ideas of modernity to their students. Through the use of ethnic identity to group students and the promotion of Bulgarian, the vernacular language for Bulgarian students in an academic and recognized setting, Robert College fostered nationalism that strengthened Bulgaria’s political and social environment to establish an independent democratic, market- oriented, modern nation-state. ROBERT COLLEGE’S IMPACT ON BULGARIA CAME FROM SO MANY BULGARIANS ATTENDING THE COLLEGE When Robert College was founded in 1863, Bulgaria was still part of the Ottoman Empire. Bulgarian students attended it before Bulgaria had gained independence from the Ottoman Empire and in the following years when the Third Bulgarian State was established. Robert College opened in Constantinople at a time when there was no quality education being offered to the Bulgarian subjects of the Ottoman Empire. Robert College provided an education that was located close to the Bulgarian provinces, and the education was at a high level, on par with American colleges at the time.

    Seminar on: „Bulgaria and Romania on the Eve of Their Accession to the EU – Achievements and Challenges in the Judicial Systems”, organized on December 15 and 16 in Sofia by Konrad Adenauer Foundation Intervention of Ms. Anita Mihailova – member of the Supreme Judicial Council of the Republic of Bulgaria:”Achieving More Independence and Accountability of the Judiciary – Main Players, Main Themes” THE SUPREME JUDICIAL COUNCIL OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA – ACHIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES The principle of independence of the judiciary is enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria. In general terms, this principle implies the exercise of the powers of judicial authorities both in accordance with the effective legislation and under the conditions of non-interference by the legislative and executive branches. The safeguards that ensure the observation of the independence principle are also regulated in the Constitution and are further developed in the effective Judiciary Act. On the one hand, the introduction of immovability and functional immunity is in itself a guarantee for magistrates’ personal independence in Bulgaria. The manifestation of this guarantee is interrelated with professional competence and responsibilities under the conditions of transparency and public control. Professional competence implies the use of appropriate methods in order to ensure that magistrates are appointed, promoted, assessed, and receive professional training in full conformity with the requirements of equal treatment, objectiveness, and competition. On the other hand, the establishment and functioning of the Supreme Judicial Council as a body of the judiciary is an institutional safeguard , which ensures that the principle of the independence of the judiciary is observed.
