The Democratic Alliance of Bulgarians in Bosilegrad stated that certain regulations of the new law for political parties are discriminatory. President of the party’s executive council Dragoljub Ivancov said that the party is against the regulations which state that a political party of minorities needs 1,000 citizens in order to be founded.

The party’s executive council stated that this is a case of discrimination against ethnic Bulgarians and that “the laws limit the rights to equality and free political organization and participation in the Serbian governmental bodies.” The Democratic Alliance of Bulgarians exists 18 years and the party can now be taken off the registry if it does not gather 1,000 signatures of membership by January 23, 2010. Party officials also stated that the new law is discriminatory because officials of the Bulgarian national minority did not participate in its adoption.
