Abstract: The article examines the geographic location of Bulgaria. The geographic location of a country can be astronomical, natural, economic, and political. It traces the changes in the territory of Bulgaria from 1878 until the end of World War II. The article features the borders of Bulgaria and its neighbors in economic and political perspective. This is useful, given the relations between Bulgaria and the neighboring countries: Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece and Turkey. After the end of the Cold War, the new geopolitical situation in the Balkan and in Europe leads to changes in the relations between the Balkan countries. Their borders and the border areas turn into zones of intensive cooperation. As a result, there is a process of regional integration between Balkan countries, including Bulgaria, and from them with Europe also. This process is facilitated by Bulgaria's membership in NATO and the EU. The article used modern research methods, figures, tables and schematic map.
