"Deputy Prime Minister of Bulgaria" (formerly "Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers" - from 1955 to 1991, and "Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers" - from 1944 until 1955), called ``Vice Prime Minister for short, is a senior executive position in the government of Bulgaria. There was also the position of "First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers".
The Deputy Prime Minister performs the functions of assisting and replacing the the Prime Minister of Bulgaria in his absence, as well as during the government's work on various matters of state administration. The post was introduced after 9 September 1944.
According to the constitutional principle, the deputy prime ministers stand above the ministers in the government hierarchy. Each of them leads and is responsible for a given management department, and the election of the persons in these positions is carried out with the decision of the National Assembly to elect the the government of Bulgaria, and the distribution of functions and competences between individual departments is determined by a decision of the government at its first meeting.
There are cases in which the deputy prime ministers are simultaneously elected as ministers in the government. In this case, as deputy prime ministers, they are responsible for the administrative department, where they are also ministers. In other cases, when the departmental deputy prime minister and the minister of the department are not the same person, the deputy prime minister is considered to be the highest instance of the given department, and the minister of the department directs the state policy and carries out the instructions and orders of the deputy prime minister along the spring.
In the case of replacement of the Prime Minister of Bulgaria in his absence, this replacement is determined in his order, which also indicates the name of the relevant Deputy Prime Minister, whom the Prime Minister has chosen as his replacement during this period. Two or more Deputy Prime Ministers cannot replace the Prime Minister of Bulgaria at the same time in his absence.
Deputy Prime Ministers can be dismissed or replaced by other persons from the National Assembly in case of personal changes in the government.
