Info

February 2004 Following the liberation from Ottoman domination (1878), Rila Monastery became the undisputed owner and caretaker of the territory falling within the perimeter of the present-day RMNP. This is evidenced, among other things, by the 1937 Definitive Economic Management Plan of the Rila Monastery Forests and High-Mountain Pastures. With the entry into force of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria on December 6 th , 1947, ownership title over lands and forests included within the Forest Estate were wholly transferred to the State. Thus all lands and forests belonging to Rila Monastery were in effect nationalized and transferred under the management of the State. In 1992, a protected area was designated by the name of Rila People’s Park, subsuming within itself the present-day territory of Rila Monastery Nature Park. Under Art. 18 (1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria, Natural Parks and nature reserves designated by law are the exclusive property of the State. Thus, as Rila People’s Park was re-categorized into a National Park and fell under the jurisdiction of the Protected Areas Act, all lands and forests within it became the exclusive property of the State. In 1997, a Restitution of Forests and Lands in the Forests Act was adopted (promulgated in State Gazette, # 110/25.11.1997). The Act provides the legal basis for reinstating forest ownership rights to the Holy Rila Monastery, as well as to any physical persons or legal entities in the Republic of Bulgaria who had owned forests in the past. In connection with the above changes the Monastery requested on 07.09.1998 at the Rila Town Land Commition to legally restore the forest and land ownership from the forest and land fund. The Monastery also filed a claim for the restitution of its title over the area falling within the boundaries if the Rila Monastery settlement unit. In the year 2000, by virtue of the amendments made to the Protected Areas Act (SG, # 28/2000), the communal lands of the Municipalty of Rila town comprised within the territory of Rila National Park was re-categorized from National Park into Nature Park, a category of protected area that allows different kinds of land ownership in its territory. This made possible the restitution to Rila Monastery of all lands and forests previously in its possession, with the exception of those within the Rila Monastery Forest Reserve. The latest, most up-to-date information of the Municipal Agriculture and Forestry Service, Rila town, regarding the structure of land ownership within the perimeter of Rila Monastery settlement unit, is dated January 2003. No detailed balance sheet regarding the ownership structure of the communal lands of the villages of Padala and Pastra falling within the territrory of RMNP can be made available by the Municipal Agriculture and Forestry Service (or, respectively, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests), since MAFS does not have the exact boundaries of the Park as they intersect with the lands of these two communities. According to Letter # 21/29.01.2003 by MAFS at Rila town, the distribution of the territory by type of ownership for the lands of Rila Monastery settlement, with a total area of 23,247.4 ha, up until January 29, 2003, is shown in Table 4. Rila Monastery Nature Park Management Plan -Draft 2004 - 2013 10
February 2004 Table 4: Distribution of the territories within the land property of Rila Monastery settlement by types of ownership Lands/sites Area (ha) Ownership 1.

Forest estate, incl. 11,090.1 2.1 Treeless areas 1,305.1 Holy Monastery of Rila 2.2 Forests 9,701.2 Holy Monastery of Rila 2.3 Water catchment zone A 16.3 State public property 2.4 Service zones of 25.4 State public property hydrotechnical facilities 2.5 Built-up areas 42.1 State private property 3.

Transport facilities (RR, state road grid) 20.8 By Decision # R-1 from 27.06.2002 of the Land Committee at Rila town, title over 9,701.2 ha of forest and 9,610.5 ha of pastures and meadows within the boundaries of the Rila Monastery lands was reinstated to the Holy Monastery of Rila. The total area of all territories restituted to Rila Monastery within the boundaries of its ancestral lands amounts to 19,311.7 ha, which is not final. At present there is a process of clarifying and sorting out the anpunt of lands and forests belonging to Rila Monastery within the perimeter of RMNP; still pending is reinstatement of Rila Monastery’s title over lands of category 2.5 Built-up areas as per the above table. The Management plan does not aim and cannot resolve problems concerning ownership of any private owner on the parks territory. The Management plan also does not not lead to the establishment or legalization of ownership over lands and facilities in the park. 1.5 Managerial structure 1.5.1. Organizational structure, staff and functions A significant part of the territory of Rila Monastery NP is property of Rila Monastery. Pursuant to the Protected Areas Act, Rila Monastery Nature Park is to be managed by a specially created Directorate, a regional body of the National Forestry Board under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests, which is to supervise the implementation of the Management Plan for RMNP. Thus, intertwined, whether directly or indirectly, in the territory of Rila Monastery Nature Park are the interests of numerous organizations and institutions, or stakeholders, represented either directly or through affiliated businesses or authorized agents. A number of NGOs, landowners and users also have a stake in that territory. Listed below are some such stakeholders: Rila Monastery Nature Park Management Plan -Draft 2004 - 2013 11
