Summary/Abstract: The goals of the present study are to outline the contours of public policy in today’s Bulgarian private international law, taking into account the works of Bulgarian legal scholars, as well as foreign literature available to the author. An overview of the opinions on the concept of public policy in Bulgarian legal theory is made, as well as a kind of comparison between the public policy and principles of law. Attention is paid to the relationship between public policy and basic moral and legal values, through the points of contact between these two categories. In conclusion, it is stated that contours of the modern Bulgarian public policy encompass all the basic legal principles laid down in the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria, as well as the sectoral principles that are their reflection.
