Moroccan Sahara: Bulgaria recognizes autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty as the solution

Bulgaria considers that genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty could be a viable solution to the Moroccan Sahara issue.
This stance was expressed in a statement issued following a telephone conversation held on Tuesday 28 July 2026 between Bulgaria Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova-Chamova and her Moroccan peer Nasser Bourita.

In light of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797, Bulgaria recognizes that genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty could constitute a viable solution to the dispute, said the statement.

The document further emphasizes that Bulgaria reaffirms that it considers the autonomy proposal presented by Morocco in 2007 to be a serious, credible, and realistic basis for reaching a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution to the issue of the Moroccan Sahara.

This position is part of the efforts to strengthen bilateral relations between Morocco and Bulgaria and illustrates the international momentum generated under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI in support of Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara and the Moroccan autonomy plan.
