    (Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte / Rīga Stradiņš University, 2018) Koev, Petar; St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria Doctoral student at the Department of Criminal Law, Faculty of Law
    Law scientist from the Republic of Bulgaria Petar Koev in his article covers quite a specific case – comparative legal analysis of spying in the Criminal Laws of Bulgaria and Latvia. The author accentuates the development of Criminal Laws in Bulgaria and Latvia to prevent spying. P. Koev concludes that the Criminal Law on Protection of National Secrets has been worked out in compliance with the historical aspects of both countries. Similarity between Bulgarian Criminal Code and LSSR Criminal Law during the period of socialism was connected with the ideological term “state secret” defined by political systems of the USSR satellite states. Analysis of regulations related to spying has brought out several common traits performed in legal acts after democratic changes in the development of Bulgaria and Latvia after the states gained their independence form the USSR. It has been concluded that regulations on prevention and eradication on spying have been worked out to satisfy the existent regional needs and state’s political priorities.
