Abstract
The Government of the Republic of Bulgaria is one of the highest political institutions involved in state administration. It has a key role in its realization since it directs and implements the internal and external policy of the country. The Council of Ministers implements these functions by adopting various types of legal acts. Acts of the government have a by-law character, as they regulate public relations in a secondary way. This is because they are always adopted based on and in fulfillment of laws. The legal acts adopted by the government are decrees, orders and decisions, and the decrees are a specific act characteristic only of it. The resolutions of the Council of Ministers have a normative character. On the one hand, they are decrees with which it regulates in a primary way public relations not regulated by law in the sphere of executive power.

The subject of this article is the analysis of the legal essence of the legal acts of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria, the procedure for their adoption, as well as the procedure for contesting them.
