This paper generalises the results of the research "The Ethno-cultural situation in Bulgaria" conducted during 1994 - a project which was assisted by the International Centre for Minority Problems and Cultural Interactions in Sofia. The research into the inter-ethnic tensions includes, above all, an analysis of ethnic prejudices and social distance among the four basic groups - Bulgarians, Turks, Romanies and Bulgarian Moslems. It also includes an analysis of the attitude towards the permitted norms in declaring one's ethnic identity and research into inter-ethnic differences in more general value orientations. The ethno-cultural situation in Bulgaria is on the international plane with the basic accent on the Balkan context. (SOI : BF: S. 333)
