The electronic document, which is being created with the financial assistance of the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021 under the Justice program "Strengthening the National Capacity for Effective Implementation of ECHR Decisions, will be published periodically, four times a year, and will summarize the relevant current case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The purpose is to make it easier for national authorities to apply the human rights standards of the European Convention on Human Rights in their daily work.

This issue includes all 53 judgments of the European Court of Human Rights for that period. The court also removed from the list of cases a complaint against Bulgaria due to the fact that a friendly settlement was reached.

The bulletin contains brief summaries of the decisions of the ECHR on the merits and admissibility. The judgments made by the Court are systematized by articles of the Convention. Links have been added to the respective issue of the Bulletin "Decisions of the ECHR in cases against Bulgaria", to the original text of the decision on the website of the ECHR, as well as to the translation into Bulgarian of some of the decisions.
