Citation found in the introductory part of the article: "Widespread corruption is a major socioeconomic issue; Bulgaria ranks among the most corrupt countries in the European Union."
There is no need for that part in the very top of the page if we are to assume Wikipedia strives for objectivity because of few reasons: 1) No other country that "ranks amongst most corrupt countries in European Union" has it. 2) In fact, close to none other Wikipedia page of a country that ranks worse in the Corruptions Perception index (cited there) has it. (Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, Hungary, Argentina, Brazil, India, Thailand, Turkey... etc.) 3) The link "Widespread Corruption" leads to a page that it's discussing how the corruption situation is improved, contrary to the set tone in the current article.
From the above, we can conclude this information does not add to the objective portrayal of the country's current situation and in fact contributes to an unnecessary negative bias towards the country and its people. At the very least, its part is not in the Introduction Dwartbg ( talk) 21:49, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
I have done some rearrangement and replacement of the images, mainly because I think there should be more emphasis on how the country looks like rather than on charts, which may be checked in the respective articles on economy, demographics, etc. All this done with due respect for the contributions of :@ Tourbillon:, the main author and proponent for the featured status of the article. Reasoning for the changes:

It is necessary to add the foundation date of Old Great Bulgaria - 632, and the correct date of the end of the Second Bulgarian Empire, which is 1422, with death of the last bulgarian medieval tsar - Constantine II. The fact that he was “emperor of Bulgaria” was attested by king Sigismund referring to Constantine as the "distinguished Constantine, glorious Emperor of Bulgaria" I.sevriyski ( talk) 23:59, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
Add something about the Bulgarian word for Raspberries, Malina, seems a little random I know but there's a reason, if you would you could also mention how the name Maleena stems form this. 168.102.132.44 ( talk) 17:05, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
