Republic of Bulgaria

Bulgaria has been a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) partner country since 1994. Formal contact with NATO began in 1990, when the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs formally accepted NATO's invitation to establish a regular diplomatic liaison mission at the Alliance Headquarters in Brussels. This was the beginning of the political dialogue, practical cooperation and reform efforts that eventually resulted in Bulgaria joining the NATO Alliance.

Part of the reform process involved the design and trial of new camouflage uniforms that would conform to NATO guidelines. This Bulgarian 5-colour disruptive pattern camouflage was one of the patterns to be adopted, as a result.
