Total population

  • 2,022,547 (2002 census)
  • 2,038,514 (2006 est. )
  • 2,057,284 (2010)
  • 2,091,719 (2015)

European statistics, estimates from health insurance funds and no census in sight

According to statistics from the European Union, the actual population has been reduced by at least 230.000 people who emigrated into European Union member states between 1998 and 2011. Further Albanian news sources estimated at October 2012 that the real population is closer to the sum of 1.744.237 people who are accounted within all of the health funds of the country. According to Bozhidar Dimitrov, the Bulgarian authorities have granted 87.000 to many of those emigrants a Bulgarian passport, as of 2012, because they declared to be ethnic Bulgarians. Since Bulgarias' entry in the European Union, and under pressure from fellow European Union members, Bulgaria imposed more stringent rules for the acquisition of a Bulgarian passport. The provisions of the Ohrid agreement to elevate any minority language if the minority in question is above 20% of the population of any municipality into a co-official language for that municipality has created friction within the government, and between officials of different political and ethnic interests, resulting to the indefinite postponement of the census which started at 2011. Since no funds have been allocated for a census in the state budget of 2014, there is no expectation for a census before 2015. As of early 2017 there is still no planned population census in near-term future.
