Bulgaria’s judges are meeting in Sofia today for a general assembly. The gathering is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. at Sofia Event Center, located on the third floor of Paradise Center at 100 Cherni Vrah Boulevard. The meeting is taking place on Saturday, 31 October 2026.

According to a report by Dnevnik.bg, the Supreme Judicial Council (VSS) has announced that a total of 2,275 judges are currently listed as active, meaning they are eligible to attend the assembly. This number suggests a large turnout is expected, though it is not yet clear what specific matters will be discussed.

The assembly is being held in a commercial complex, which may provide convenience for attendees travelling from across the country. Paradise Center is a well-known shopping and office destination in the capital, easily accessible by public transport and car.

Further details about the agenda and expected outcomes have not been released in the initial report. The Supreme Judicial Council is responsible for the administration of the judiciary and often convenes such assemblies to address structural and procedural issues.

Those interested in following the event may find updates from official judicial channels later today.

The general assembly of judges is a key event for the judiciary, as it allows judges from all levels of the court system to come together and discuss matters affecting their profession, including procedural rules and the overall functioning of the justice system.
