Abstract

The article considers the concept of spatial regional development in the Republic of Bulgaria for the period 2013-2025. and plans for the integrated development of municipalities for the period 2021-2027, as well as current challenges that the country faces in implementing an integrated territorial approach. In modern conditions, stable economic development cannot be achieved without an effectively functioning system of regional development and improvement. The goals and plans of the Integrated Development of Municipalities should be consistent with the goals presented in the Integrated Territorial Development Strategy. The guidelines for IMDP issued by the Ministry of Regional Development and Improvement of the Republic of Bulgaria should further clearly indicate the implementation of the partnership and be sure to be consistent with the planning documents of the country’s higher level of regional development.
