100th anniversary from the establishment of the first State Insurance Supervision in Bulgaria
On July 26, 1926, the State Gazette promulgated the Law on State Control over the Private Insurance Enterprises. The Managing Board of the state watchdog was set to be its supreme body. The Board has issued permissions for insurance activity, companies’ merger or transfer of insurance portfolios. It has also issued guidelines on recovery and activity suspension, as well as declaring bankruptcy. The expenses on its establishment and provision were on the account of the insurance companies that were initially obliged to pay 5%, and later 4% of their premium income. One of the first managers was the prominent actuary Mr. Hristo Petrov (a deputy director of the State Supervision over the Insurance Enterprises Department). His death-rate table has been quite widely used in the Bulgarian insurance.

The Independence Day (Bulgarian National Holiday)
On September 22, 1908, Bulgaria declared its full independence from Ottoman control. Signing the Bulgarian Declaration of Independence nullified the harmful clauses of the Treaty of Berlin under which the greater part of the railway lines in Southern Bulgaria were under the regimen of capitulations (as Turkey's property) which entailed the payment of an annual tax to Turkey. After the Treaty of Berlin (1878) Macedonia remained under Ottoman rule, while after the wars and the peace treaties (Bucharest, 1913, and Neuilly, 1919) the greater part of it was incorporated into Serbia and Greece. The idea of the national unification of the Bulgarians was fatally doomed, mostly by the policy of the imperialist diktat, but for those affected it was impossible to abandon it. An armed struggle began which in its content, organizational methods and purposes was a continuation of the Bulgarian national-liberation movement of the ‘70s of the 19th century. However, the Ottoman rulers were pushed out of Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace not by means of a democratic revolution but through Bulgaria's, Serbia's, Greece's and Montenegro's military might in the First Balkan war of 1912.
